Lois Christine Jaeger

Lois Christine Jaeger, suddenly left this earth to be with her savior on Sunday, August 21, 2011, after fully enjoying 83 years of life. She was born on July 10, 1928 in Corsicana, Texas to Florence Allen Hunt and Claude Price Hunt. The family moved to Austin, Texas when she was two weeks old.

Lois was a dedicated employee of the State of Texas Secretary of State’s Office. After 20 years of service, she retired in October, 1990.

Always cheerful, she was happiest when surrounded by family and friends, enjoying frequent family gatherings. She never missed an opportunity to make us smile. Some of her talents included crochet and knitting. She enjoyed making beautiful doilies and knitted items for family and friends. Everyone needs a stocking cap or two!

The family would like to express our gratitude to the staff for the excellent care she received.
