I, too, worked with Lois at Homesteaders for ten years. If you needed something from the Supply Dept., she could always find it for you. She was a very special lady. I remember the very delicious white divinity she made at Christmas. We so looked forward to it! I will be out of town so won't be able to come to her memorial service. I am very sorry for your loss.

Lois had a good eye for details and was very tight with her budget and spending for her Supply Department at Homesteaders. I enjoyed working with Lois for many years.
Sorry for your and our loss.
I will not be able to attend the service. My thoughts and Prayers are with you.
