To Family Members: I remember the time when I went to Kathy as a beautician and Lois was always there and so pleasant. I hadn't seen her in years, but will always remember how nice she was to everyone who came into the shop. I know you will miss your mother, relative and friend so much and we send our deepest sympathy to the family. Frank and Ellen Celsi

I was honored to work with Lois at Social Security & was saddened by her death. My thoughts are with the family.

My career with Social Security overlapped Lois's for a relatively short time; however, I remember her as good person as well as a good person to work with. My sympathies go out to all of you in her loss. May you find comfort in your faith as she did.
