Lois took great pride in being a mother to Pam and a homemaker. She loved decorating for every holiday, entertaining and cooking. Lois made the best potato salad around. Lois loved spoiling anyone she was with either shopping or going out to lunch. One of the titles she most treasured was being called Grandma Lois and it was by many. She especially loved spending her days with Gabby Fisk, Oliver, Easton and Everly Todd from the time they were little. Whey will miss her dearly.
