During those years, she held several positions with the local chapter of the North Carolina Wilson Board of Realtors where she was a member. Lois worked diligently with all of her clients; her phone was with her at all times to ensure her availability. From lenders to inspectors, other agents and co-workers, she always represented everyone with the utmost respect and professionalism. “What Lois said, all agreed upon it.” Her enthusiasm was simply electric and everyone she met became a part of her life forever. Lois’ family was her passion in life, she went far above and beyond the usual for her family. This is especially true when it came to her grandchildren; Lois was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. Lois carried herself at all times in an eloquent, proud and straight-forward manner. You always knew where you stood with Lois and everyone loved her for it. We will cherish our fond memories forever.
