Lois Bernice Cartwright was born June 14, 1922, in Montgomery County, Iowa, the daughter of Forest and Hazel Pearl (Kuhn) Cartwright and passed away May 28, 2012, at Atlantic Nursing and Rehab Center in Atlantic, Iowa.

She grew up near Mount Ayr, Iowa, and attended country schools. On November 21, 1937, Lois married Donald Glen Wolford in Adams County, Iowa.

She was a member of the United Methodist Church in Massena, Iowa.

She was small but mighty, honest and kind. Lois was a beautiful person. Her family never heard her complain. She had the ability to make any house a home. In her spare time, Lois enjoyed a good game of cards, bowling and spending time with her companion, her dog Zoie.
