In the 1950’s W.O. and Lois moved to Rocky Mount, Louisiana, where they purchased a beautiful piece of land, built their home, raised a family with their son Curtis, and realized a dream of running a family ranch. Lois and W.O. were both active in the Pilgrim Home Baptist Church in Ivan, Louisiana. With each teaching Sunday school and serving the Lord wherever needed for many years. Following the death of W.O. in 2002, Lois continued her faithful service to the Lord, becoming active in a prison ministry and hosting bible study in her home. Lois would not allow the pandemic to halt her witness for the Lord, continuing with phone ministry despite challenges brought on by COVID 19.
Lois celebrated her 100th birthday with the community. Family and friends filled the Pilgrim Home Baptist Church gymnasium and expressed their thoughts and wishes with an outpouring of love, music, and good food. Her 102nd birthday was an intimate celebration complete with good food, family, and close friends, with a surprise visit from grandson Heath Deen, in from Austin, Texas.
Lois is survived by her granddaughter, Karen Brock and husband, Brad; daughter-in law, Elizabeth Sheppard; grandson, Heath Deen and wife, Blanca and three great-grandchildren, Hayden, Liam and Valentina. She is survived by many nieces and nephews, including Joan Carraway and husband, Charles, and her family, whose support enabled Lois to remain living in her home. The family also wishes to extend their sincere and humbling gratitude for the support of so many close friends, too numerous to list, in the community, whose love and support also enabled Lois to live in the home she loved.
