She led a very active life as a member of the Verdi Church of Christ and with her large family and many friends, always interacting in a special way with everyone.
She was born at home on the family farm in Leming, Texas, to Paul and Maude Schneider as one of six children. They were Lucille, Oliver, Milton, Maude, and Harvey, whom all preceded her in death.

Farming was always a big part of Lois and Jesse’s lives, from Verdi, to Arkansas on the dairy farm and then back again near family in Pleasanton. While Jesse continued farming, they bought a local Café, the Dairy Dipper, where Lois was well known for great food, prize winning pies, and original fried pies. Many people have shared fond memories of the food and hospitality they enjoyed there.
Retirement from the café allowed her to blossom in her other interests. She was a prolific quilt maker, gardener, and valued motivational speaker with Weight Watchers and TOPS. She participated in a variety of lady’s groups such as Hobby Club, Quilt Guild, and Bunco. She enjoyed all these things enthusiastically while nurturing her growing family. Plus, her family knows what an avid fan she was of the Spurs and the Cowboys. There are countless memories created in the lives she has touched.
