Lois made sure her children enjoyed learning by making simple things into adventures. She read using character voices sparking our imaginations. She loved themes and made birthdays and holidays fun and exciting. She let her children grow up at their own pace, urging them to use their imaginations and creativity. She always had time to listen to our stories, watch our plays, suffer through our band concerts, help us build forts and made the county fair the event of the year. She always greeted you with a smile and loved to chat. She loved children and they loved her back. She was the “cool” mom and was always approachable. Lois had a love for gardening, butterflies and birds. She enjoyed her grandchildren Christopher Pultz, Jeremy Pultz, Bethany Blackmer, Ellen Blackmer, Marnee” (Vosejpka) Greg Ledet and her great grandchildren Aaron Atchison, Zoe” Steckelberg, Wyatt Vosejpka and Lane Ledet.
