Our condolences to the family. As a teenager, I lived across the street from her family, the Martins. On occasion I babysat Lois as well as Sandy. My heart goes out to the family as well as Sandy. The Martins were extra special neighbors. Ray &Donna Rensland

Life of service is an understatement from my perspective. Lois, I knew you such a short time and you made such an impact on my life. I will never forget your love and humility. My prayers are with you and your family.

Aunt Lois you were an inspiration and a joy to be with talk with and many of nights if playing cards at the cabin. Our last get together was the quarter game and you truly brought tears of laughter to us all. R.I.P.

Such a dear soul who had a peace about her in all our meetings during family gatherings. She is home now and that is where her heart always was - her earthly home was her heaven on earth in preparation for her homecoming!
