Lois always had a smile for those around her and encouragement Lois and husband Richard were members of the Nazarene Church for over 70 yrs. Richard's mother and father Helen and Melvin Brooks were charter members of that same church which had been started in a home. They served the Lord in various positions over those many years as Officers, Board members, Sunday school teachers and janitors, wherever they were needed. Lois served as the Missionary President for many years and strongly believed in supporting our missionaries here and abroad.

Lois took care of the church's rose gardens and the outside of the church just as carefully as the inside and believed Gods house should look its best. She was a true testimony to how God can work in your life, showing a Christ like life, always helping others and bringing families to the Lord.
