Lois Patricia (Bergholt) Peterson passed away peacefully on May 26, 2025 in Jackson, MI. She was 88 years old. Lois was born on October 4, 1936 in Loves Park, IL.

Lois was a longtime member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Jackson, where she was a Sunday school teacher and frequent volunteer. When Lois and Bob became owners of Brandywine Pub & Food in 1980, she worked alongside her husband for more than two decades, but her favorite job of all was being a Mom.
