Lois lived a life of faith and service and had a deep love for her family.  She leaves behind a legacy of music, art and kindness. She served as a dedicated organist for many years, sharing her musical talents across multiple parishes. Lois was not only a gifted musician but also an extraordinary artist.  She painted vibrant landscapes and family portraits and lovingly crafted many hand knit and crochet pieces.  Her talents brought joy to all who had the pleasure of experiencing her work. Camping adventures and travel also brought tremendous joy to her life, giving her the opportunity to explore new places while creating precious memories with her husband John and her family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were especially dear to her, and she demonstrated infinite patience and love in their time together.

Her gentle spirit and generous heart will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
