I first met Lois 4 years ago while I was working at Hallmark and grew to love this lady and her contagious smile and her positive outlook for life. One funny moment we had together a couple years ago was the day Lois stopped by to buy her greeting cards (as she did on a regular basis) and when Lois left she backed over her walking cane but didn’t know it. Lois came back into the store looking for it and when we walked outside together I saw it under her car. She got the biggest laugh out that and just went on her way. Lois always spoke highly of her family. I will truly miss this wonderful lady and send my condolence to her family. Jo Steuer
My Dear Lois, I LOVE YOU, you had so much love for anybody that came into your life. When you married my daddy, you instantly took me as your own daughter. Never in a single day did you make me feel as though I was ‘just a step-child’. You and daddy, always seemed so in love and though I will miss you terribly, I know that daddy is glad you and him are reunited again. And I look forward to another guardian angel looking over me. My special butterfly….Love and Miss Ya, Birdie
She always had a smile. Our condolences to all the families of Lois Hall Elhe. May God bless you in this time of need.
My condolences to you all…I remember Lois from Scouts…she always made us laugh…and her smile always comforted when needed…she will be greatly missed…. Cheryl Mattingly Mitchell
Lois was such a special lady. She made EVERYONE FEEL SPECIAL. Her gentle manner and sense of humor in all circumstances defined the characteristics of ‘Lady’. I thank God for allowing me to briefly know this warm incredible lady and her family. I am sorry for your loss but can’t think about her without a smile.
Lois was a sweet loving lady. I got to know her at our monthly Merchant luncheons. I enjoyed listening to her memories of her life and hearing how much she loved sports and Bobby Knight. She was warm, gentle amd caring. She had a big hug for me everytime we left tje luncheon. I will miss her. Gayle Gootee

As I read the other beautiful comments…I second all the same words and feelings for this awesome lady! Shirley, Steph and the rest of the family had one of the best role models for life that you could have. Please recall those precious memories of times with her on a regular basis….she’ll be with you always! Love you! You know I’m in Colorado at the present time and can’t pay my tribute in person but Jim will be there to give you two big hugs…one from me and him! xoxo
I will always remember her sweetness and her bright smile. I also remember well Santa Claus Harry brightening the room for all. Randy Haymaker
Lois was our next door neighbor from the time we moved to Mooresville in the early ’60’s. She and our family went through many good and bad times together. Lois was also supportive and so sensitive to the needs of others. I’m sure she’s already been reunited by so many who’ve gone before her. Her kindness and loving nature in unrivaled by anyone I’ve ever met. Rest in peace, my friend and please know I will love and miss you forever. Brian Bailey
Lois was married to my cousin, Howard . She was so sweet and caring. My mom was in a nursing home for many years and she and Howard would come and visit her and I remember Lois bringing her a Santa she had made for mom. I still have it . A good Chriatian lady . Our sympathy to her family. Sondra and Bob Burcham
I’m so sorry to hear about Lois. She has known me since I was a child. I’ll always remember her smile and sweet nature.
I am so very sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort provide comfort for you through the pages of the Bible during this difficult time. Jesus promises that ‘ those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.’ ( John 5:28, 29) My deepest condolences.
My precious sister Lois, I cherish the memories shared; those unstoppable giggles were so much fun. I loved that we could share our faith in our Lord Jesus and His promise of eternal life in Heaven. I love you and I will miss you! Our love and prayers are with your family. Love and God bless, Carol and family, Frank, Katie

I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Lois. She was a beautiful, loving, caring lady who helped shape my high school years. I have wonderful memories of her at Bud and Bloom Florist…she was gift to all who knew her. Nancy Gruninger
my thoughts and prayers are with you as you say good bye to this wonderful woman. I can see her waiting for you with her ever present ever radiant smile.
I will always remember how very sweet Lois was to our family. I will always treasure the beautiful framed keepsake of our wedding invitation she made for us as a wedding gift. It hangs on the wall of our dining room where we see and enjoy it every day. We will miss you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Cindy & Dan and Calvin, Lindsey, Aubrey, Landon and Carson Herr
I loved Alice so much. She was always so kind and positive in spirit. When my mother died she reached out to me to help sooth my grief. She gave me a gift that I chearish to this day. I am so grateful I got to see her last year in Bloomington at David Bernard’s funeral. My love and prayers to all the family. Sincerely, Patti Dale
Amen, Patti. Our family was overcome when she walked into that room. It took everything she had and meant the world to us. God bless you, Patti.
The best, loving Mother-in-Law a man could ask for. RIP, Mom. I love you. Jeff
One of the truest, kindest hearts that ever graced this earth. May the heavens glorify your life, dear and unforgettable Lois. I remember how you let us pull all the things out of the storage shed so we could have our own little house for slumber parties…the Dilly Bars late at night, that Alice brought home, and how you let us paint the girls’ bedrooms all by ourselves! And I still remember your Vacation Bible School lessons! What a giving and wonderful lady, always with a warm smile. You comforted me and Mom through a more than a few heartaches and will always and forever be her best friend. We send our love to tonight’s stars, knowing you are brilliantly among them. Have fun seeing Harry, and give David and Charles M. Schultz a big hug! I love you, Lois and Mom loves you with all her heart. God bless your beautiful family and friends. Thanks for the memories.
I sure will miss sending you a Valentine but will always keep you on my list! 😉
Lois was an exceptional neighbor, we were out of town, but were very saddened at the news. Our heart felt sympathy to the family. She will be missed dearly. Eugene, Sheila Bishop and Families.
With tears flowing I just read about Lois’ passing. I didn’t know and would have been there to say goodbye and to let the family know how much I loved this sweet, sweet lady. I had just received my birthday card from her, as usual, not knowing it would be my last. I have them all with a precious message on each. The most important things are not things, it’s the people who have touched your heart. And Lois touched mine. I will see her again and get my hug. How blessed you were! Sharon Williams
