The eldest child of Victor & Irene (Maynard) Starks, Lois was born in Evansville, Indiana. She never grew to be any taller than 4'6" tall, and in her childhood used this to her advantage by playing in local Evansville venues as both an acrobat and a contortionist.
Lois married Richard Lord on June 1, 1941 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. They divorced before 1955 and Lois remarried Willard Seaton. They were married for over 50 years at the time of Lois' death and residing in Elberfeld, Indiana.
Lois enjoyed watching old movies (Perry Mason was her favorite), CNN, and the drama shows that can be found on TNT such as Law & Order, CSI, and Charmed. She was a dog-lover, having owned several different kinds of dogs in her life, and she loved watching the dog shows on television, too. She also had a passion for Butterfinger candy bars and would hide them all over the house. (She even died with one in her hand.)
Lois died at 2:00am on April 14, 2008 at St. Mary's Hospital in Evansville, Indiana. Her official cause of death was renal failure. Burial was on April 15, 2008 in Beatty Cemetery in Hancock County, Kentucky following a service at Geary Funeral Home in Fordsville, Kentucky.
