She worked with the public most of her life as a store owner and manager and made lifelong friends within the community. She absolutely loved to fish and enjoyed watching the hummingbirds at her feeders. Lois loved to talk and made trips to the grocery store just to visit sometimes. She found her adult coloring books to be relaxing and soothing and was proud of the many books she had finished. She always made sure she was home at 6:30 to watch Wheel of Fortune. Lois truly enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, including her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
