Lois Ebersbach

1931 - 2022

CHESTER — Lois Irene Ebersbach, 91, went home peacefully to be with her savior on Tuesday March 29, 2022 at The Arbors of Pomeroy, following a brief decline in health. She was born on March 25, 1931 near Chester, to Dwight and Elta Spencer.

She is survived by her three daughters Karen (Robert) Couch, Barbara (Michael) Pore, and Rebecca (Ronald) Grate; her granddaughters Jessica (Tony) Staley, Sara (Aaron) Murray, Lindsey (Justin) Brewer, and Lacey (Eli) Miller; her great-grandchildren, by age, Evan, Caleb, Autumn, Hannah, and Sloane; her brother Gilbert (Mary Lou) Spencer; sister Linda (Robert) Lute; many nieces and nephews, and countless friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband James Willard Ebersbach, her infant son Danny Ebersbach, her siblings Russell Spencer and Wilma Spencer Marks.

Lois graduated from Chester High School in 1949 and was married to Willard in June of 1949. They started their married life in Middleport, but soon moved to their home near Chester in 1952 and lived there for the remainder of their lives. She spent the majority of her adult life as a homemaker and was always serving and caring for her family and friends. She loved to sing gospel music and was a member of The Gospel Tones and later Sunrise, musical groups which traveled around to different churches and events all over the country to sing the music she loved. She always worked, sang and helped in the churches she attended, ending her life as a member of The Rock in Parkersburg, W.Va. In her free time, she loved fishing, sitting on her porch swing, reading books, and playing with her grandkids and great grandkids. She was the best storybook reader that ever lived, doing different voices for all of the characters to entertain and delight the listening children. She was loved by all that knew her and a beautiful example of the love of Jesus Christ to the people around her.

The family would like to extend special thanks to the Holzer Meigs ER, Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis, and The Arbors at Pomeroy for their kindness and care for Lois at the end of her life. They would also like to thank Kelly Robinson for her love and patience in assisting with her care for the last several months.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday April 2, 2022 at 11 a.m. at the Anderson-McDaniel funeral home in Pomeroy, with interment following at the Mt. Hermon cemetery. Friends and family may also call at the funeral home on Friday evening from 6-8 p.m..
