SHEARER, Lois J.

Lois J. Shearer, born on February 14, 1940, in Dayton, Ohio, passed away peacefully on October 9, 2025. She was the daughter of George and Mary Seth. Lois married James Leroy Shearer on April 29, 1961. Together, they shared a life filled with love and adventure, traveling internationally and creating lasting memories. Lois was a proud mother to one child, Janice L. Lockhart, who predeceased her. She is survived by two grandchildren and several great-grandchildren, bringing joy to her later years. Throughout her life, Lois enjoyed a variety of hobbies, including crocheting, fishing, bowling, gambling, reading, and solving puzzles and word games. Her vibrant spirit and zest for life were evident in everything she did.

She is remembered fondly by many nieces, nephews, and their families. Lois will be missed dearly by her family and friends.
