Lois A. Beebe, 88, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 16, 2013 after a brief period of failing health following a fall in early September. Lois was born on December 14, 1924, the daughter of Earl and Vivian Allen of Vestal, NY. Lois graduated from Vestal (NY) High School and spent one year at Rider College before marrying. During WWII, she married her husband, Ray Beebe, and lived in Apalachin, NY, until they moved to Cary in 1966. Lois was a bank teller for many years at BB&T on Chatham Street, Cary, and then Southern National in Apex. Lois was a member of Christ The King Lutheran Church in Cary and for years an active member of the Esther Circle. She was also active in the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. Lois was a proud volunteer at the Dorcas Shop in Cary for many years.
Lois was married for 65 years to her loving husband, Ray. Ray passed away in 2010. She is survived by three children, son Monte R. Beebe (and his wife Susan, Sunset Beach), son Thomas A. Beebe (and his wife Roxanne, Morrisville) and daughter, Jo Ann Kourim (and her husband Bruce, Winston-Salem). She is also survived by eight grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, brother-in-law Don Beebe (Cary), two nieces, and numerous other relatives. All will miss her greatly.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Dorcas Ministries, 187 High House Road, Cary, NC 27511. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 23, 2013, at 1:30 pm, at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 600 Walnut Street, Cary, NC.

I worked with Lois at Southern National Bank in Apex for a few years back in the late 80's. We all lovingly called her "Granny". She was a very special lady to me and I will always remember her kindness. RIP Granny.

To all the Beebe Family:
We are so sorry for your loss. Lois and Ray were our next door neighbors on Laura Duncan Road for 26 years until Lois moved to Waltonwood after Ray's death and we loved them both very much. They were wonderful neighbors and friends and we have missed them and thought of them often. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and we know you have many wonderful memories to cherish. What a wonderful long life and what a wonderful Lady! God Bless!

It's so sad to lose one of the few remaining members of the "couples club". I have such fond memories growing up with our Beebe cousins, especially at the farmhouse in Apalachin. I can still hear Lois' wonderful laugh. She was a special lady. Deepest condolences to all the family.
With love,
Kathy Noteware and George Loizides

My sincere sympathy to the Beebe family. It is a blessing Lois lived a long life because there are many people who may never see her age. May Almighty God who provide comfort to us be with you during this difficult time of your life.
