She lived life with a spirit of adventure and curiosity, finding joy in the simple pleasures of the ocean, spending time with friends and loved ones, while also expressing her creativity through various forms of art. Whether Lois was walking on the beach, enjoying the peacefulness of nature, bowling with friends, shopping at a local farmer’s market or immersing herself in a new creative project, she approached each experience with a sense of wonder and gratitude.

One of her greatest passions lay in serving others. With compassion as her compass, she dedicated many years to the field of mental health, with Fellowship Health Recourses offering support, understanding, and healing to those in need.
