Lois Waldram Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Simpson Funeral Home & Crematory - Peters Creek Road on Oct. 1, 2025.
Lois Irene Waldram (née Harvey), 81, passed away peacefully on September 21, 2025, in Roanoke, Virginia, surrounded by loved ones. Her warmth and generosity left a lasting impression on all who crossed her path. Known for her boundless compassion to others, Lois never met a stranger. Even during times when she had little herself, she gave freely-offering help, comfort, and kindness to anyone in need. Lois's greatest joy came from her family. She deeply loved and cherished them throughout her life. She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Patricia Heitman and Rebecca Dougherty (Tommy), and her son Michael Waldram. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren-Kendra, Anthony, Emily, Isabella, and Michael Jr.-and her great-granddaughter Kaia. Lois also carried in her heart the memory of her beloved son Robert B. Waldram Jr, who preceded her in death as well as all her siblings and her parents. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her. Arrangements by Simpson Funeral Home Peters Creek Chapel. (540)366-0707.
