Lois enjoyed the simple things in life, such as sewing, knitting, cooking, crafting and cleaning. Lois’ greatest joy came from caring for her children, the neighbor’s children and later her grandchildren.

Lois will be greatly missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Lenny,
Sincerest sympathy from a very old friend. While our paths have not crossed nearly often enough, and other friends have come and gone, we never forget friends of carefree school days. It’s hard to believe so many years have gone. May Lois rest in peace and may you find comfort in your dear family and in a lifetime of memories.
Kindest regards,
Bill Gallivan
