Lois was one of the sweetest ladies I know. She always took an interest in your life even if she hadn’t seen you in a long time. She will be missed. Rest In Peace Lois!
Lois was one of the most giving persons I have known. I have known her for 69 years. She gave of herself, her time, her money, and most of all, her love. I have been so blessed to have her as my oldest sister, second mom, and true friend. She will be greatly missed, but our loss is heaven’s gain.
Lesli, so sorry for you and your family on the loss of your mother.
Thoughts and Prayers.

We remember Lois as always having a smile, a warm hug and alot of love in her heart. She loved to talk about the Lord and His goodness and she was always faithful to Him! We loved her and Jack so much! They were a blessing to Gavin and I and we miss them both. She is where we all want to be and thankfully that time is very close! God bless you all with His unwavering love and His wonderful peace that passes all understanding! We love you all!
Mom was the best. Hers was a life well lived. Pastors wife, pianist, Sunday School teacher, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend and mentor to countless folks. A truly brilliant and selfless woman who lived to serve others. They don’t make too many like her anymore. We will miss her always.
