Lois said that her birth spoiled Christmas for brother Ralph who wanted a "Jackie Cougan" doll for Christmas.

Lois walked to a one room school until the 5th grade. She graduated from Ceres High School in 1942 and from St. Lukes Hospital Training School for Nurses in Richmond, VA, in 1946. Part of her training included serving on a Blackfoot Indian reservation in Browning, Montana.

Lois loved the operating room and did graduate work at O.R. Baylor Hospital in Dallas, Texas. Lois was also a nurse at Yellowstone Park. Lois gratuated from Duke Hospital School of Anesthesia in Durham, NC, in 1956 and passed the National Boards for "CRNA". Lois retired January 1, 1983, from Forsyth Memorial Hospital after 25 years and 7 months of "putting people to sleep". She still lives in Winston-Salem.

Lois never married.

Any information about the members of this family would be appreciated.
