Lois was born April 17, 1925 in Thomasville, NC to the late William and Essie Edinger and was a member of First Baptist Church of Greensboro, since 1962. She retired as a Professor of Education from UNCG after 26 years of teaching. Lois was a life-long teacher including serving as President of the National Education Association from 1964-1965 during the Lyndon Johnson Administration. Although she was nationally and internationally known in the education field, she was just as dedicated to her family of which she was the cornerstone. She touched many people and will be sorely missed.
Those left to cherish her memory include her niece, Lynn Munday (Marty); nephew, Steve Chandler; brother-in-law, Ted Chandler; great-niece, Krista Wilklow; great-nephew, David Lineberger; great-great niece Kelsey Garrett and great-great nephews Dillon and Ryan Garrett.
Hanes-Lineberry N. Elm St. Chapel has the honor of assisting the Edinger family.
