The Ladies of the Elks Lodge 664 are very saddened to hear of the passing of Lois! She was a life-time member and a friend to all of us. Lois bowled with us several times when we hosted the IL State bowling tournament and we enjoyed her company. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
So sorry for your loss. She was a very sweet lady.

I will miss Lois. We have been friends for many years. We enjoyed lunches together at her home. She had a great smile and we laughed a lot.
