Lois began a career as a Secretary for PERS [Public Employees Retirement System] pausing to spend more time raising her children and She served as a Campfire Girl Leader as well as a Cub Scout Leader. When she returned to the workforce she became an Executive Secretary for Gates McDonald from where she retired. Lois was very creative. She loved knitting, cross stitch, baking and especially bowling with her friends. She had many dear and very beloved friends. She bowled on Teams well into her senior years.
