Lois was truly one of a kind, she had the most selfless giving heart. She was an amazing caretaker and never complained. Lois would go without things, making sure others didn’t have to. Her devotion to her Lord was undeniable and she spent many hours a day reading her bible. She was passionate about sharing the message with others and would set up bible studies for those in nursing homes and people that were shut in their own homes. She was known for her angelic singing voice that she used on Sundays to worship.
