She was born to Fred and Clara (Huber) Macklem in Denver Colorado on September 14th, 1938. She married Robert Berry on May 19,1962 at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Denver.
Lois worked for the Federal Government for both the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, where she made lots of friends, including one that would introduce her to her future husband.
Lois liked to travel, often speaking of her past travels to Jamaica, Hawaii, the California coast, lots of places in the east, bus trips around Colorado and more recently Tennessee, Washington State and Florida. She loved Rockies baseball, doing jigsaw puzzles with her retired friends that she had made in the government and elsewhere, and going to movies and chatting with faithful friends that stood by her side to the end.
She is survived by her children Steve (Julia) Berry of Castle Rock, Colorado, and Mike (Ewa) Berry of Littleton, Colorado; grand-children Michelle (Tyler) Berry of Castle Rock, Colorado, Rev. Sean (Hope) Berry of Thornton, Colorado, Krystian (Kara) Banach of Wheat Ridge, Colorado and Kinga (Rolla) Starkey of Littleton Colorado; and great-grandchildren Weston and Journey Brooks, Luca Banach, and Mila and Lucy Starkey.
Lois is preceded in death by her husband, Robert Berry, and a baby girl who was born prematurely in December 1962.
