Always the most loving, caring mom and friend. You always called me your shadow, now you can be mine. Whenever I see a butterfly I will know you are with me. If you need to find me, I’ll be waiting in the 100 Acre Wood.
Lois was a kind woman. Classmate of 1965. We had lunch together several times some years back. I’m grateful she came to our 50th class reunion. My sympathy to her family and friends.
Mom was my best friend who always had my back no matter what the circumstance, she looked out for me and set the story straight! Mom was not a thin skinned person and told it like it was no matter what. I’m going to miss all the great talks we had, good and bad, she had a heart the size of Texas as Uncle Ted would always say. I’m very lost without my best friend but know I now have a very special angel watching over me always and forever. Love you and miss you so much Mom!😪
We loved Lois & enjoyed spending time with her & Buddy in Mesa. We share your sorrow at this difficult time and we will miss her. Chuck & Lee Ann
I first met Lois when my mom and I bought a lot at the condos at Rest Point Resort. Both my mom and I took an immediate liking to Lois. Such a sweet lady…we could see why Ira loved her so much. The last time U got to see Lois was during a visit to the lake after the sale of our cottage. She invited me to eat with her and Ira. What a nice time we had that night. I will cherish my memories of Lois always. Prayers to the family. Love, Nancy Petersen and Joe Dosemagen
Our sincere condolences for all the family and friends of Lois. Sandy&Phil
I had the honor and privilege of getting to know Lois a few months ago. It was very apparent to me right away, what a sweet and caring soul Lois is. My heart goes out to Ira and all of her family. She truly will be missed and celebrated! God Bless, Michael Tantone #PatriotREALTOR®️
