Lois J. Moake

Lois J. Moake, 77, of Rockton, Illinois, passed away Sunday, September 14, 2025, at home. Lois was born June 27, 1948, in Beloit, Wisconsin, to William and Edith Mackey. She graduated from Beloit Memorial High School. In 1995, Lois married Robert “Bob” Moake. She was a long-time employee of Cadbury Schweppes (formerly Warner-Lambert), where she later retired.

Lois loved her family dearly, and it was evident in each of her hobbies. Whether it was sewing a blanket for her grandchildren, or baking a cake for a birthday, she did it with love and she did it well. She was the definition of “Hostess with the Mostess”, as she loved planning parties, birthdays, family get-togethers, or holidays. Christmas was always her greatest event of the year, as she cooked and baked many special dishes. Along with her time in the kitchen, she was always accompanied by music in the background. On Sunday’s she loved to cheer on the Chicago Bears, and she was also a Milwaukee Brewers fan. Lois was a genuine woman, sweet, kind and loving. She took great pride in being a grandmother to Savannah and Payton, and her grand-dogs - especially Maggie.

She is survived by her husband of 30 years, Bob; daughter, Heather (Robert) Nieves; grandchildren, Savannah (Andrew Torchia) Nieves, and Payton Nieves; sister, Judith (Joseph) Licari.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and two siblings; parents-in-law, Richard and Delores Moake.
