In Loving Memory of Lois
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Lois, a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished Grandma, and great-grandmother.
Lois shared 54 years of marriage with her husband, Bill. She was the proud mother of five children, beloved Grandma to 11 grandchildren, and great-grandmother of five, who brought tremendous joy to her life.
Lois had a big heart, especially for stray cats, and was always willing to care for one in need. She loved gardening, sports, cheering on the Baltimore Orioles, the Baltimore Colts and later the Baltimore Ravens, a hot cup of tea, a little bling, trips to the casino, and finding a great sale.
We will miss her more than words can say—the sound of her voice, the things that made her laugh, and simply knowing she was there. We will think of her whenever the Orioles are playing, when football season rolls around, when the garden begins to bloom, when we spot a great bargain, or when we sit down with a hot cup of tea. Those everyday moments will always remind us of her.
Services private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in her name to Defenders of Animal Rights, Inc., 14412 Old York Rd., Phoenix, MD 21131 or https://adopt-a-pet.org/ or to BARC/ cat rescue at https://www.barcs.org/
We love you, Mom. We love you, Grandma.
You will always be a part of us.
