Wendy and I visited Abingdon together in late July, stopping at her parent’s house on the way up to pick up some squash casserole and fresh veggies, Lois wanted to send to Gary - just one sign of her care and thoughtfulness. She graciously let us spend Saturday night at her house after Wendy and I had spent the day touring historic homes in Abingdon. Wendy saved some dinner leftovers for her mom, and we carried back a sweet treat from Anthony’s for her as well. Her “one bite” of dessert quickly became more! The next morning she shared some of that squash casserole with me for breakfast - it was delicious.

I hope over time these memories and stories will help ease the big ache in your family’s hearts. My prayers are with you all.

I have many fond memories spending time with Gary, Marvin, and Lois on weekends as a young boy. Lois was always just like a mother to me. I know she touched a lot of people and will be missed by all. Gary, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family!

I am so sorry to hear of Lois’s passing. We had been good friends for many years through working together. Afterwards we would meet and have lunch together until the COVID came but we still talked occasionally, the last couple weeks ago. A very sweet lady and friend.
My prayers are with her family to get through this time.

Lois was a good friend and neighbor. In our latter years we didn't get to visit but would check in each other by phone. One fond memory is when my son William was a patient at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville Lois and her daughter Wendy came and visited William and me for probably around 2 or 3 hours and we had so much fun reminiscing. RIP Lois I will miss you my dear friend
