I have heard about Lois most of my life while my parents were living. They always told me I was named after her.
I am sorry I never met her that I can recall. I am so sorry for your loss.

Hello to the dear family of Lois. My mom and dad were Delmer and Cora Nunn. We are cousins. My sister Lois Jean was named after Lois. I wish we were still having the reunions like we use to have at uncle Stones at Garretts Bend. Those were wonderful times that I can remember. My sister Betty worked with Lois at the State Dept. of Education. We all send our love to the family. We think about you all often.

Lois, Carolyn McClure and I used to enjoy attending all the Women’s meetings at First Baptist Church together. She was a very dear friend and I will miss her very much!
I met Lois sometime in 1988, when my husband at the time would do work for her out in Garretts Bend. We got pretty close and after she moved away, I missed seeing her in the gorcery stores or somewhere in St. Albans. She will be greatly missed by my family, as well as her other friends.
Met Lois soon after I joined First Baptist in 1985. We were both cat lovers and enjoyed swapping stories. Missed her after she moved away but kept in touch with cards. She was a lovely lady and so glad I had the opportunity to meet and know her.
