Her education came from the school of life having grown up in the experiences of the great depression which shaped their lives by hard work and dedication to taking care of the needs of their family, working side-by-side in the sheep, cattle, and farming operations. She began her lifelong avocation and career as a seamstress working at the parachute factory (making parachutes for the U.S. Government in the Second World War). She was extremely gifted and talented as a seamstress, working for such companies as Osborn Apparel and Pacific Trails, just to mention a few. She crocheted and knitted with love, making beautiful show quality sweaters and afghan, as well as designing and making clothes for her own children and family. She loved to beautify her home, raising lovely gardens, was an excellent homemaker, and cook, sharing talents with many. She had many friends and appreciated their kindness. She loved playing cards and socializing. Lois loved to travel and did so whenever she had the opportunity, traveling to places like the Cayman Islands, Washington D.C., Portland, Oregon, The Hill Cumorah Pageant in New York, San Diego, CA. and spent one winter in Arizona. Lois was very active in the LDS Church, holding many positions in the church. Her strong testimony of the church was reflected by her exemplary life. She was very active in Community affairs with her husband "Alt" and an active member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, she loved her rich heritage.
