Lois Jackson

She was born on January 24, 1939 in Keene, NH, the daughter of the late Minnie (Robbins) and Lyle Rice, Sr. She attended area schools and graduated from Keene High School with the Class of 1957.

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.
