LOIS IVES
..Lois Irene Ives, 73, died at her home in Yellow Jacket on Feb. 20, 2000. She was born Jan. 5, 1927 in Iola, Kan., the daughter of Bessie W. and John Park Colwell.
..The Colwell family lived near Bronson, Kans. until 1936 when they moved to Glasgow, Mont. The following year, they arrived in Yellow Jacket and Lois had lived there ever since, with the exception of the high school years, spent at Bronson High School and Durango High School. Lois also attended Fort Lewis College and received a "Colorado Special War Emergency Certificate for Teaching." She planned to begin teaching at Cahone the fall of 1944, but was deemed to young at the first semester and so, taught the second semester.
..On Feb. 16, 1946, she married Dale L. Ives and became a homemaker, helpmate and sewing expert, winning blue ribbons at the Grange State Sewing contests. She was also a 4-H leader for five years.
..In addition to her pride in gardening and canning, Lois loved to hunt, fish, ride horses and snowmobile. Snowmobiling became even more enjoyable when she and Dale built their cabin near Groundhog Lake.
..Lois is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Betty and Dan Oakley of Foresthill, Calif., two aunts, Ruth Donoho, of Saco, Mont., and Jennie Young, of Wildomar, Calif.; and many cousins, nephews and nieces. Her determination and smile will be missed.

Lois and Dale didn't have any children. See more photos on her husband's memorial.
