Dear Family, so sorry for your loss. I have many memories of Lois growing up, of Christmas dinners, picnics and family gatherings with us cousins taking turns hand cranking the homemade ice cream and games on the lawn of Jarts. Lois was always smiling, lovingly welcoming, encouraging and supportive. Slhe was so proud of and always talking about her children and grandchildren. Lois you will always be my mentor! Loving memories ❤ Your cousin Linda

I have many fond memories of Lois from Union Center church and her lovely singing voice. We shared rides to bowling alleys when Lori and Jodi and my daughter Jill were pre-schoolers. We had lost touch for the past several years as our lives took separate routes, but I will always remember the good times I had with her.

I remember Lois from Bradley Creek Rd. I also remember her singing in Melody Masters as my dad, Emerson, played trumpet. Just a great lady and so nice to be around. She'll be missed but we all are better for knowing her. We'll "see her later..."
