Lois Vasquez

Lois first contracted cancer at the early age of 24. She had 4 recurrences and with all the many cancer treatments that her body had to endure, many other illnesses later occurred. Lois always knew that each challenge was part of God’s plan for her life journey. She was always thankful of the many years and graces that our Lord bestowed on her. As a cancer survivor she was able to share her many experiences and bring comfort to other survivors during difficult times.

She was involved in many activities at St. Helen Catholic Church and in the Georgetown community. Lois worked for the Georgetown Independent School District for 35 years and retired in 2010. For many years Lois and her husband owned a picture framing shop in downtown Georgetown, called Custom Frames by Daniel.
