So very sorry to hear about Lois. I knew her from when she was a teller at FNB and got to know her even better when we had Dari. They were there at least once a day. Always filled with cheer. Prayers for family and friends.

Lois and I met when I was a young woman employed by a local bank and she returned to work there after taking time off to be a stay-at-home mom.I remember how jolly she was with a smile ever on her face. However I would describe her as being rather "proper." So it was much to my surprise one year when we bank employees dressed up for Halloween and she came as Dolly Parton!!!! It was hilarious and I will never forget it. I was blessed to call her my friend. Quite coincidentally I later worked with her youngest daughter at the same bank. So to Karen and the rest of the family I refer you to John 3:16. She is where she would want to be. Sincerely, Celeste
