Lois was born in West Allis, WI on October 22, 1926 to Joseph and Amanda Lotharius. At a young age, she had a passion for ice skating. Her parents bought a cottage on the Fox River and she skated the river to Waterford. Her passion for skating brought her into her dear husband Bill’s life one Christmas morning. They fell in love and were happily married for 69 years. Lois was a city girl turned farm girl, picking and selling sweet corn, feeding chickens, and selling eggs to the neighbors. She raised four boys and kept the bookkeeping all together for the farm; Lois could do it all. Her strong faith in The Lord was evident in all she did. She always listened with a loving ear and wisely offered advice when requested. Lois will be remembered as a good friend, loving Mom, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother.

In lieu of floral expressions of sympathy the family suggests memorials to Christ Lutheran Church in memory of Lois.
Her family wishes to thank the Doctors, Nurses and Staff at Linden Grove, Mukwonago for their special care of our Mom, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother.
