On October 5, 1957, Lois married Reginald Jackson. Together they enjoyed raising their two daughters, cruising in the Caribbean, and traveling the country – especially Las Vegas. They celebrated nearly 40 years of marriage before his passing in 1997.
Lois had a long-time career with Kingsbury Corporation. At the time of her retirement, Lois was employed as Manager at the Cheshire County Federal Credit Union. Outside of work, she was involved with 4-H as a leader for many years and a member of the Lutheran Church.
