Lois Laverne Frame (nee Atwell) peacefully passed away on May 12, 2024, in Annapolis, Maryland, at the age of 83. Born on June 20, 1940, in Annapolis, Maryland, to Mabel Presley Atwell and Charles ("Frizzy") E. Atwell.
Lois was a vibrant soul whose warm smile and welcoming nature left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing her. With her infectious smile, she brightened the lives of those around her. An ardent reader, she delighted in the pages of thrillers and mysteries. Her cherished companion, Maggie, faithfully stood by her side for the past 13 years, offering boundless comfort.
She is survived by her daughters, Michele (Todd) Frame Miller and Tara (Richard Wicker) K. Frame, stepchildren Florence (Sheldon) Fleming, Mary Ellen Coleman, Glenn (Melanie) Frame, grandchildren Gavin Wicker and Reese Wicker, 7 step-grandchildren, and brothers Donald Atwell and Charles E. Atwell, Jr. Lois was predeceased by her loving husband of over 47 years, Vernon G. Frame.
Lois began her career as a legal secretary at Westinghouse before returning to work in the same capacity for the law firm of Dietz, Ebersberger, and Duvall in Annapolis. In 1984, she, along with Vernon and her brother Donald, became proprietors of Rudy's Tavern, where she dedicated herself until 2005, when it was sold to the Rams Head Group and became Ram’s Head Roadhouse. Rudy’s was a favorite local meet up spot, and when Lois managed in the evening, she took a genuine interest in everyone who walked through the door.
Her interests included immersing herself in books, enjoying classic westerns and animal documentaries, sharing lunches with friends, and creating cherished memories vacationing in Mexico with her family.
In honor of Lois's memory, donations may be made to Hospice of the Chesapeake, whose compassionate support was deeply valued by the family during her final weeks.
Arrangements are being handled by the John M. Taylor Funeral Home in Annapolis, Maryland. A Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later date.
