Lois was a lifelong homemaker, enjoying a good laugh, making homemade bread for family and friends and efficiently managing a lively household with three boys and a husband. There were always homemade cookies in the cookie jar for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She frequently sat at her piano and played the old hymns which were so dear to her. Music was important in her house and there was usually a song played on the radio from various Gospel radio stations.

Christian principles continually guided her thoughts and deeds. Her church friends were like family and became a reliable source of strength to her.

Private services will be held at the convenience of the family.
