Lois cherished her children Debra (Scott) Whitney, Donald 'Toby' (Audrey) Nelson, Dottie Kinner, and Tommy John 'TJ' (Kristi) Nelson and her grandchildren TeriAnn (Josh) Montoya, Anthony (Karri) Nelson, Mark Kinner, Jeremy (Amanda) Nelson, David (Miranda) Whitney, Doug (Alex) Whitney, Tyler (Rossana) Nelson, Alyssa Houghton, Lauren and McKenna Nelson. Lois's great grandchildren Téa, Noah, Karli, Cooper, and Myles always brought the biggest smile to her beautiful face.
