My condolences to the family on the passing of Lois. I was in the Women’s Book Club with Lois for many years via the Presbyterian Church of La Grange and have many fond memories. I also enjoyed hearing about her art work. She always had a smile to share with others.
Lois was part of our Bible study and would host our Friendship Circle, always with a smile. We always used dishes for our refreshments and sat at the dining room table. We enjoyed looking at her lovely paintings and admired her work. She also hand-painted our sign that hangs outside the door of our church library. FPCLG.
She was a wonderful woman to know. Always proud of her children and grand children. She loved talking about them too.
I took many photos at our women’s group at our Presbyterian Meetings. Lois is in many of them.
She will be dearly missed.
