In addition to her son, Luther, Lois and Norman cared for and became guardians of their nieces, Judy and Karen after the passing of their parents. Later, Lois worked at St. Martin School for many years as the head cook; she also managed her Tupperware sales business on the side. Lois was a member of St. Martin Lutheran Church, Clintonville for many years, serving in the choir as well as the Ladies Aid. She also worked in the bakery at the Wal-Mart store in Shawano for about 15 years until her retirement. In her younger years, she loved camping, fishing, and the family’s yearly vacations to Canada.
