Lois Connor Obituary
January 26, 1944-January 30, 2021
Lois Jane Connor's (Madigan) journey on earth came to a beautiful end January 30, 2021. Born January 26, 1944 to Tom and Ouida Madigan in Columbus, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her Father, Mother, and her husband of 52 years Patrick (PJ) Connor, who passed only a few hours before she took her final steps to be with him in Heaven. Lois met the love of her life, PJ, shortly after graduating from the St. Francis School of Nursing, and they married May 25, 1968. Lois is survived by her 3 beautiful children Ann (Tom) Lanier, Mary (Bob) Mazik, and Patrick (Kelly) Connor; 10 grandchildren Sean (Alicia), Joseph (Amanda), Bryson (Ali), Bethany (Jake), Brian, Colleen, Chase, Matthew, Kevin, and Regan; and 1 great grandchild, Avery. Lois never shied away from sharing her faith with others and spent her life serving others as a Wife, Mother, Nurse, and Volunteer. As a longtime member of the St. Thomas More Newman Center, Lois spent many hours volunteering to serve meals at the YWCA and acted as a eucharistic minister at several hospitals in the area. Lois will be missed deeply by everyone whose life she touched; however, her loved ones are comforted by the knowledge that she is able to take her walk in heaven with PJ at her side and will seek to continue her legacy of love and service in the many years to come. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking those wanting to help make a donation to the Saint Vincent De Paul Society and the YWCA in Lois and PJ's honor.
Funeral mass will be held at Saint Thomas More Newman Center 64 W. Lane Ave Columbus, Ohio at 1:00pm on Saturday February 13, 2021 by invitation only due to Covid-19 restrictions. The mass will be available through live stream at Buckeye Catholic on YouTube for those that are unable to attend. A Celebration of Life will take place later when Covid restrictions are lifted. Please visit www.schoedinger.com for service updates. Arrangements entrusted to SCHOEDINGER NORTHEAST.

Pat/Kelly, Mary/Bob, Ann/Tom & Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers as you walk this journey.
I enjoyed sharing meals, meetings and conversations with Lois. Her gentle and kindred spirit was very welcoming. She was very easy to talk with. Lois was free to joke with PJ.
There was no hiding the depth of her love and concern for her family & friends.
I will miss my friend and like you very grateful they got to meet Jesus together, to continue their beautiful eternity.
If there is anything I can do to support your journey, please don't hesitate to ask.
God Bless & prayers always,
Kay

I had the honor and privilege of working with Lois on the Mother-Baby unit at Riverside hospital. We both worked 3-ll shift at the time and I enjoyed our time together very much. She had a wonderful joyful way about her and an infectious laugh. My deepest sympathies go out to her wonderful family that she loved very much. God Bless!
