Will miss that beautiful lady. Most fondest memories would be all the food our family consumed at the picnics her and Kermit had at their home. She was great hairdresser as well. She was great at keeping surprises (my parents 50th anniv). She taught me how to “peel potatoes” while I was sitting next to the kitchen sink and grandpa and grandma Postlethwaits’. Always had a smile on her face. Love you Aunt Lois.
Cindy, Huck, Lee and families, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Your Mom , also you , go back many years with us. WE have been so blessed to call your Mom friend and Sister in Christ. One day we will be with her again. She was a sweet Christian lady and a great friend to us all. Love you all, Norma and Clarence
Grandma “Loretta”, I am sorry to hear about your sister. She was a great person. Just remember the good time that you two shared. If you need anything we are here for you. We love you.
Cindi, Lee, and Gary: So very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I have many fond memories of her and all of you while we were all teenagers. Lois was a very fine lady and always had a smile for everyone! Thoughts and prayers are with you all!
