In addition to her husband Gilbert, Lois is survived by her daughter, Christa Magnuson, and her husband, Kevin, along with her cherished grandchildren Mallorie, Trevor, and Tanner, all of Elgin, Texas. She also leaves behind her loving sisters, Virginia Strain of Austin, Texas, and Ann Bouchard and her husband Ray of Spring, Texas. Through her marriage to Gil, she gained a sister-in-law, Debbie Koehn of Seguin, Texas, and a brother-in-law, Loren Parsons and his wife Betty of Bryan-College Station, Texas. Lois will be remembered fondly by numerous other family members and friends who were fortunate to know her.
