She received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Moorhead State College. Lois was once married to Doyle Mullin. They made their home in Fridley, MN where she was employed as an elementary school teacher, primarily sixth grade, in the Anoka/Hennepin County School District for forty years.
