She was raised in the Jerktail community, and then lived in Kansas City, Missouri, for a time. She worked for one year as a seamstress for the H. D.

Lois had professed her belief in Christ and followed the Freewill Baptist faith throughout the years.
In her spare time, she enjoyed going out on their boat and fishing. She was a wonderful cook and was especially known for her delicious hot rolls and pies. Her family was very important to her and she especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
