She also enjoyed supper clubs and family cookouts. She will always be remembered for her love of life and truly missed.
Lois is survived by her son, Rick (Cathy) Robbins; step-daughters, Patricia Lassiter, Maureen (Mike) Lavery, and Colleen Riehl; step-sons, Brian McArty and Timmy McArty; grandkids, Shane Robbins, Lisa (Scott) Laabs, Stephanie (Jeff) Dalrymple, Amber (Tim) Sonnenberg, Brandon, April, Ava; step-grandchildren, Shayla, Fukway, Atia, Kalem, Kelly, Danny, Brooke, Mike Jr., Kevin, Eric, Emily; many more great-grandchildren; and her special friends, Jessica, Mike, and Maureen.

Johnson; grandson, Jason O'Connor; stepson, Mike McArty; and step-daughter, Kathy Wolf.
