Born on October 12, 1925, in Bayou La Batre, AL to the late James F. and Adell P.

They were stationed at the US Air Force Base in West Palm Beach, FL for 10 years before moving to Annapolis where they raised their family.

A talented seamstress of clothes, draperies and slipcovers, Lois went to work at Arnold Hurts Fabrics, then tried her hand at owning her own business, Kent Island Fabric Shop, before enjoying a 26-year career at the Mill End Shop in Annapolis.  Prior to entering the fabric industry, she worked at Nationwide Insurance and, during World War II, at the Miami Air Depot in Florida.

Lois was a giving person who loved her Bible and Jesus.  She fostered two boys for six years after their mother was killed in an automobile accident and she started a program of collecting and delivering clothing, toys, school supplies and household items to families in the West Virginia mountains.
