Lois was known far and wide for her ability to cook and bake. It was not uncommon for her home to be filled with her children and the children of the neighborhood. It was clear that she had a heart to serve. She would take freshly baked cookies and bread to the elderly. She also would happily take them shopping. When she was not working in the house, she could be found going on picnics, working in her garden, watering her flowers, or fishing with her husband.
Lois took great pride in being a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, and a great great grandmother!
