Lois’ deep love for the Lord has carried her through all of life’s journeys and was evident to all who knew her. She served with her husband in Hazard, Kentucky from 1961-1964 at Hull Memorial Presbyterian Church. From there they felt the Lord’s calling to missionary service.

Lois moved with her husband to Monroe, NC in 2002 and were faithful members of Church of the Redeemer of Monroe. We will miss her unconditional love and prayers for each one of her children and their spouses, her grandchildren and their families. All those who knew her will miss her quiet but deep walk with the Lord.
