Lois was such a nice person, she roomed with my mother at the Good Samartian Rest Home. She always tried to help my mother and greeted us with a smile when we were there. She will be remembered fondly. The Family of Jean Krick
I would run into your mom so many times in the grocery store — we would always chat a bit and she would always have a smile on her face and we would always share a chuckle or laugh about something — have missed not seeing her! Sending prayers and condolences to you all for your loss – but am sure you have some really wonderful memories of her! Treasure them!

Todd and Joel: I am so sorry to hear about your mother. She was such a wonderful lady!!!! I remember her from when we lived in town on the corner beside Nortons. Then when her and Melvin started driving for my dad….she was always so pleasant, I just loved her….. My thoughts and prayers to your family.
You have been in my thoughts and prayers. Lois was a good friend and neighbor. I enjoyed her a lot. Love Ya, Harriet
