Publish in a newspaper

Lois A McDaniel - Born to the late Allois V. and James B. Abner of Batesburg, South Carolina on May 26, 1941. She was the third child of three born in this marital union. God called Lois home to a more tranquil and peaceful place on October 31, 2025.
Lois attended and graduated from Twin City High School, Batesburg, SC. After graduating from high school, and during her career span, she held the position of Calendar Officer with the City of New York until her retirement in 1998 when she relocated to St. Petersburg, FL followed by Cartersville, GA and later to Ocala, FL.
Lois met and married Bobbie McDaniel and from this union, one daughter, Anita McDaniel-White was born.
Lois had a determined and vibrant personality, maintaining her identity, interests and friendships and was always willing to help family and many others. She was a dedicated congregant of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, a significant contributor to Habitat for Humanity and touched countless lives through her acts of kindness and generosity. Her love for cats was matched only by her passion for gardening from her home space and her vibrant flowers.
Lois is survived by her daughter, Anita White (John) (PA); ex-husband, Reverend Bobbie McDaniel (SC); brother, Louie Franklin Abner (Jacqueline) (FL); sister, Virginia Louise Mack (FL); three grand-children, Moriah (MA); Jordan (PA), and Elora (PA); five great grands, Riley, Gavin, Walter, Emery, and Hazel; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. Proceeded in death by her mother and father, Allois V. and James B. Abner; brother, Charlie J. Abner and grand-daughter, Alma Victoria "Tori" McDaniel.
