After WWII, Gary and Lois settled in Estancia, NM where they operated a Conoco bulk plant and owned an insurance agency. While in Estancia, she served on the Board of Directors of Hope Medical Center and taught ladies and children's Bible classes. She also was a teacher at Sandia Summer Camp. In 1981, she moved to Abilene where she worked with Bible Call Ministries for five years. Grandma loved to write. She wrote poems and verses and notes of encouragement and letters to friends and relatives. Because of her writings, she left her family two special treasures, the story of her life and of the life of her husband, Gary. Moving to Lubbock in 2006, she quickly made new friends and found a new church home. And even though weakened by the years, she never lost her ability to be the organizer and family bookkeeper. But most of all, she never lost her love of new friends and fun with the kids.
"……pretty things that I love like sunshine and rainbows, tall grass in the breeze, wild flowers 'neath the trees, and roses and seashells and ribbon and velvet and lace ----."
