Lois Draper Obituary
Lois earned a bachelor's degree in music education and a master's degree in education and used her exceptional musical abilities throughout her life. She was married to the late Rev. Robert Draper, and together they pastored and planted multiple churches before being called as missionaries to Kenya. Throughout her life, Lois directed church music, taught elementary school, and taught at two Bible institutes. Wherever she lived, she actively participated in local choral societies, including the Pemigewasset Choral Society.
Lois and her husband were deeply involved with Rumney Bible Conference and lived for many years in a cottage on the conference grounds before relocating to northeastern Pennsylvania to be closer to family.
She is survived by her children, Jonathan, Christine, and David; their spouses; grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter.
A memorial service will be held on January 17, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Rumney Baptist Church, Rumney, New Hampshire.

I am so thankful to have met Lois while attending New Life & BBC! She was such an encouragement to me during my college years. My prayers go out to the Draper family that you may have peace and comfort in the hope that we will see Lois again one day.
