My dear friend, Lois was a kind, quiet and meek person who was liked by everyone who met her. She was a person who had a strong work ethic and tried to go to work even when she wasn’t feeling her best. We were friends for 43 years. We were college roommates for 3 years at Framingham State College and continued our friendship many years after graduation.
We enjoyed weekends when we were young in Saco and would spend days on the beach and enjoying the ocean. In most recent years, we enjoyed going to the movies and theater.
I will miss her greatly.
I worked with Lois for many years in Purchasing at the American Red Cross. Lois loved her job and it showed. She was a kind and friendly co-worker and friend. I am sorry to hear that she has passed. My deepest condolences to her family, of whom she spoke often and lovingly.

Dear Lois’ Family,
My husband and I wanted to say how very sorry we are for your loss. We offer our deepest condolences.
If we may, we wanted to leave a few scriptures that have helped us in some painful moments in our lives.
Luke 7:11-17
John 11:11-44
Jer. 29:11,12
John 5:28,29
Maybe these can ease your pain some. Please take care and know there are poeple out in the world that do care—we just wanted you to know that.
Sincerely,
William & Lisa Mooren
