I’m so sorry to hear this. I fondly remember Lois Ann from the time I spent with her with my grandparents. I always remembered her collection of pigs. She was very special. Prayers for you all.

Lois Ann was a treasured friend that we will dearly miss. Such a beautiful Christian lady who always greeted you with a smile, a concern for you and your family, and always had words of wisdom to share. We looked forward to seeing her Sunday mornings. Loved seeing her and Gene buzz by in their red truck or later just her – going to visit with family. She was supportive to both of us during our lives and was always someone you could count on to be there in sorrow and celebration. We’ve been praying for her these past few days, but felt assured that she knew where she was going and that she thankful for a live well lived.

I have found memories of Aunt Lois. She was always expressed interest in me and what I was doing as I was growing up. She was a sweet lady that let her light shine.
As my Godmother I’m sure she said many prayers for me.
I know she will be missed by many.
Kevin & Rita, Craig, Mark, Andrea,
I pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort you all as you grieve her absence in your life.

Kevin, Craig, and family…I’m so sorry for your loss. Lois Ann was ALWAYS one of my favorite people during the growing up years in Wmsville. She and Eugene were like second parents–even supplying furniture for my first apartment in Spfld. Lois Ann made my first prom dress, Eugene was one of the amazing men who guided our Boy Scout troops — they both made life in a small town “happy”. May you find many happy memories of a good and Godly woman who is now in the arms of Jesus.

I was sad to read of your loss and extend my deepest sympathy to your entire family. Lois was a wonderful person and truly represented God’s love. I had the pleasure of knowing her when we were members at Athens and being active in LWML. May God be with you during this time
