Lois Jean Rhodes, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, left us peacefully on September 30, 2025, at the age of 88. Born in Greensburg, Ohio, Lois dedicated her life to her family and home, exemplifying love and devotion in all she did. Lois cherished her role as a wife and mother, and took immense joy in being a grandmother. She relished the moments spent nurturing her family, cultivating her vibrant garden, and sharing her passion for flowers, crafts, crosswords, and puzzles.

An active and dedicated member of the Mt. Pleasant Church, Lois was also a long-time participant in the Women's Fellowship, where she formed deep connections with community member she encountered. Lois was always finding joy in the simplicity of Saturday night card games, and her commitment to the Weight Watchers group. Her warmth and kindness created a lasting impact that will not be forgotten.

Lois was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Gladys Boettler; her beloved husband, Wilbur H. Rhodes; son, Daniel Rhodes; and siblings, Atlee Boettler, Don Boettler, and Carolyn Workinger.

She leaves to cherish her memories her children, Barbara (David) Johnson, Richard (Stacie) Rhodes; daughter-in-law, Michele Rhodes; grandchildren, Jeffrey (Rachel), Gregory, David (Alexandra), and Melissa; great-grandchildren, Emilia, Elle, Anthony; siblings, Theda Alexander, Margie Meermans; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Lois & I met in first grade at Greensburg School. We shared many fun times. She would stay overnight at my house in Greensburg and many nights in her home on Heckman Rd. having fun just being kids roaming the fields/stream. I was fortunate to get together again in past few years with the gals from our class going out to lunches. Wonderful friend.

Lois was the epitome of loveliness and grace. Her friendship over the past several years has meant a lot to me. She loved Jesus Christ her Redeemer, and that was evident whenever I visited her, and now she is with Him for eternity. Mary King

Lois and Wilbur were the best at everything, and their good deeds live on. And they were always so gracious to everyone. We have enjoyed knowing their family over the years, as well. Love, prayers, and great memories to all the family.
