A devoted Christian, Lois attended Westminster Presbyterian Church in Aurora with many beloved family and friends. She was very active in her church as a Deacon and a part of the Mary Martha Circle, Bible School, Communion, the Mother-Daughter Banquet, and Sunday School Teacher. She also attended Ottawa Presbyterian Church where she was a Deacon, assisted with communion, and was a circle leader.
Lois was an accomplished seamstress. She made her daughter’s wedding gown and wedding attendants gowns, men's suits, play costumes, and her grandchildren's Halloween costumes.
