So sorry for your loss of Lois McPhee. She was the sweetest lady. Always so kind. Now she will be with Carl McPhee in heaven. Sending hugs & prayers to her family! ❤
So sorry to hear this. I met Lois through woman of accountability group at Grace church. It was a blessing to have met her. I am so sorry family. You are in my prayers and all the grand babies.
Lois was a dear friend of our family for 50 years. She and my Mother worked together for the Columbus Public schools until they retired. Lois was a very sweet person that cared about everyone she met. I got to really know Lois when she would come to me for her monthly therapeutic massages. I missed seeing her after she and Carl moved to Illinois in 2015. Talking on the phone isn’t the same as being together. We have many memories of family gatherings with Carl & Lois and pictures of them at my Mother’s birthday parties. She’s with her good friend Ethel and her wonderful husband Carl and I know they are having a great time.
Our sincere condolences to Theresa, her daughter, and family.

Lois became my neighbor when they moved to Illinois. Lois became a good friend quickly and I was blessed to know her if only for a short time. She loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and I know she is in His presence now. She loved others with her whole heart and she will be greatly missed.
