Condolence: Bob and Sharon: I never knew Lois personally but my neighbor did and we walked together and would go by Lois' home in Marion and if she was out we would talk to her. She was a loving person and had a great picture of Jim in one of her rooms in her new home in Marion It looked just like him. Now they are together again. You have our prayers and sympathy. Marlene and Dave O'Rourke

Condolence: Lois was a wonderful person. She and Judy (Moser) Swift were the most wonderful nurses anyone ever had when they worked together at Dr. Bennett's office. They helped us raise our sons! Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Lois. She was a beautiful person whom will be greatly missed by many in the community of Cedar Rapids and Marion. Lois would always bring treats to us so that we could start an IV access for her. Along with that she always brought a smile and warm wishes. I was especially fond of being able to share crochet patterns with her, we would talk for extended periods of time about new patterns for baby blankets that we had seen or tried. I will greatly miss her.

Condolence: David and Brian,

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. She was a very dear friend to my mom and our family. She will be extremely missed.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. May God watch over you and your families during this difficult time.

God Bless.

Condolence: David and Brian, I was so sorry to read of your mother's death. I have so many good memories of her from the days when our children were all young and we were in Marion Mothers Club. Lois was a gentle soul ... so kind..... and I know how much you will miss her. My prayers are with you.

Condolence: What a sweet, kind and caring friend was Lois. We stopped to see her shortly before we came to Texas at the end of Dec. She was in her usual good spirits with hopes of getting home. She was a nursing classmate of mine and I always enjoyed meeting her along with other classmates at our monthly lunches. We'll miss her as we know her family will, also. Happy memories will keep her in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Kay and Bob Lind

Condolence: I am deeply saddened to hear of Lois's death. We have not been in touch for many years since graduating from nursing school but I remember her as a very kind and gentle person. My deepest condolences to the family.

Condolence: Lois graduated with us from Marion High School, Class of 1955. We visited her just before Christmas in the Hiawatha Care Center. She was always glad to visit and a very pleasant person. It was good to have so many of our class together for our 50th reunion in 2005. Our Class always makes a donation to the Marion Independent Foundation and Alumni in honor of our classmates.

Condolence: David and Brian,
Our deepest sympathies go out to you both on the loss of your mother Lois. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her. Both Lois and your Dad (Jim) are in our prayers. God is with you now and forever. James and Bev Wolfe

Condolence: My brother Butch and I went to school with both of you guys. We are sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. We didn't know her very well but we do remember coming over to house once in awhile. Our parents are both gone too. You will always have the memories. Thinking of you both.
