She also worked at the Lincoln County Courthouse and was a bookkeeper at Canton United Methodist Church, her home church. Lloyd and Lois enjoyed many summers in the Black Hills at the campgrounds in Custer. She had a special fondness watching the progress on the Crazy Horse Monument and going to the buffalo round ups. Lois was a long-time member of Helen’s coffee group. Lois’ husband Lloyd died in 1997.
Grateful for having shared her life are her sons- Doug and his wife Marilyn of Canton and Dan of Rapid City, SD; three grandchildren- Daniel Amen, Michael Amen, and Jessica McCart; a sister, Gwen (Dave) Herrick, Sioux Falls; sisters-in-law- Natalie Stroschein and Gwen Amen; and several nieces. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and sister, Mavis Gustafson.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Losing someone so special is never easy but I am sure she left so many good memories that with time the pain will be replaced by the joy of those memories.
