Lois Theiss Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Brettschneider-Trettin-Nickel Funeral Chapel & Crematory - Appleton on Mar. 26, 2025.
Lois Theiss (Buzanowski) passed away peacefully in her sleep on Friday, March 21, 2025, at Dimensions Assisted Living in Appleton, Wisconsin. She was born and raised in Appleton by her loving parents, Beanie and Tony, and later built a life with her husband, John Theiss, to whom she was married for over 60 years.
Lois spent much of her career in the banking industry and later dedicated her time to serving the Village of Allouez in Green Bay. She was known for her warm smile, her love of gardening, and her commitment to staying active-whether exercising at the YMCA and CP Aquatic Center in Green Bay or tending to her flowers at home. Above all, she cherished time spent reading and playing with her grandson, James, who brought her immense joy.
She is survived by her husband, John (Appleton); her son, Andy (Los Angeles); and her beloved grandson, James (Los Angeles). Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
