I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Lois. I loved her spicy spirit! I will never forget her kindness when I was a young mother and I walked, from Wayne St, to my grandparents house on Mead St (her neighbors, Mary Ann and Harry Work) on a very hot summer day only to find my grandparents not home. As I and my baby were very hot and tired she offered us a ride home. All it takes is a little kindness to be remembered. Many years later I had the privilege of being her Service Coordinator and couldn’t believe she remembered me. Erin and Dan, I know she could be a tough cookie but she certainly was loved. Love and hugs to you both and your family during this time of grief and rememberance.
Nan and Dan,
So sorry about the loss of your Mother.
Roy and Diedra

My close and loving friend for over 50 plus years. Nanner helped me bring
our twiins…Brad & Chad, home from the hospital after they were born. This week
we are celebrating their 50th birthday! They loved the cooking that Nanner made
for them. She was always a hard faithful worker. Blessings as she rests. fondly Toni
