Lola found great joy in the simple pleasures of life; whether it was getting lost in a good book, solving word search puzzles, or spending time with friends over a game of bingo. Her warmth, kindness, and love for life touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
Lola will be remembered by children, Pat Isles, Andy Isles, Glenda Berberich, Cash Markle, Tim (Angie) Bertram, Kelly (Greg) Rochleau, and Debbie Bertram; many loved grandchildren and great grandchildren; sister-in-law, Connie Peach.
Lola was preceded in death by her parents; brother, John Ed Baxley; sisters, Rosalee Odom, and Ruth Baxley.
In keeping with Lola's wishes, cremation will take place and no formal services will be held at this time.
