Lois Anne (Bacon) Spencer, August 13, 1935 – April 25, 2020
Lois Anne was born to Catherine and Daniel Bacon in Elizabeth, NJ. She was the eldest of two daughters. Her younger sister Ellie and her parents preceded Lois in passing. Lois' education, immersed in the Catholic Church from elementary school through high school developed and maintained her fierce devotion to the Church, the Sacraments and her family.
In 1957, Lois Bacon met Donald M. Spencer, a dashing United States Air Force officer who stole her heart. They were married on September 28, 1958, in Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Bloomfield, NJ. Together, Don and Lois raised four girls and one boy, Cathy, Susie, Ginny, Bob and Mary Elizabeth. These children were raised as devout Catholics, which eventually convinced Don to migrate his Presbyterian beliefs into the Catholic Church in the mid-1970s. Her devotion led both Lois and Don to discover Marriage Encounter and the Charismatic renewal through the Catholic Church. As a loving couple they entered the vibrant, spirit-filled part of their Catholic journey.
Their involvement in the Charismatic Renewal led Lois to find the College of Steubenville and a dynamic Catholic Franciscan priest named Fr. Mike Scanlan. He transformed this small Ohio Catholic College into a world renowned movement. This simple encounter with the College set up the legacy that fulfilled Lois' dream of living in close community with her children, and her children's children in the Ohio Valley for the last 40 years.
Lois is survived by her husband, Donald, of 62 years; and her children, eldest daughter, Cathy Spencer, PhD, Susie Weiss, Ginny Spencer and Edward Pankus, Robert and Eileen Spencer, and Mary Elizabeth Spencer and her husband Tim Tinnirello. Lois dearly loved her 22 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
The family celebrated Lois' life at a Mass of Christian Burial with Msgr. Gerald Calovini at Holy Family Church on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, with only 10 of her family present during this unprecedented pandemic. Lois is interred at Mount Calvary Cemetery with her parents, Catherine and Daniel Bacon.
