She was very involved in the Sawyer Club even after the Sawyer country school merged with Grant. In her later years, she enjoyed participating in the Red Hat Society as well as the "Lois" Club. Lois was also known for her fabulous pies, especially her sour cream raisin pie. Lois enjoyed gardening and embroidery work. When her grandchildren were born, they added a new depth and meaning to her life.
