She was a tremendous cook and baker and loved having huge gatherings of relatives and friends. Another favorite part of her life were her flower gardens, especially red roses. Being a true homemaker, her house was always immaculate.
Baked goods were always on the counter and baking pies and bread plus canning and putting up preserves, with raspberry/blueberry being her favorite.
Her well known baked beans were absolutely the best.
In her 80s, she took a position at the Milltown Public Library. She loved her work and all her co-workers.
Lois was preceded in death by her husband, Russ; and her sister, Dee Holmgren.
