Lois spent many hours sitting in her front porch, She liked to collect blue Fenton Glass, and over the years, Lois kept track of her many friends’ birthdays in her birthday book. Her only granddaughter, Kaitlin, was her pride and joy. Lois and Kaitlan had a very special bond. They were two of a kind when they went shoe shopping or when they were watching movies together.

Lois is survived by her daughter, Barbara (Mrs. Kenneth Kling); granddaughter, Kaitlin; brother, Roy (Ann) Johnson of Janesville, Minn., and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband on January 7, 1998; one brother Willard Johnson and sister-in-law, Doris Johnson.
