David and I were saddened to hear of Lois’ passing. She was a special step-sister to my sisters and me !
We have wonderful family memories that go back 56 years !! I will miss our visits and and our regular phone chats. Lois was so interested in our family and was always up on the latest news. We loved to reminisce and had lots of laughs. Her memory will live on in our beautiful collection of her handmade cards that we received through the years. Thinking of Joanne, Jim, Marylou and their children and grandchildren! Your mom was so proud of her family !

Mary Lou and Joanne,
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Our family has fond memories of time spent with the Nixons many years ago. My mom and dad (Edna and Ess) enjoyed many games of cards with Jack and Lois and visits to the farm. My mom also has fond memories of Lois when she was a girl. Thinking of you at this sad time, Edna Esselment, Karen and Terry G.

Kate and John and I were so sad to hear that Lois had passed away. She was a true friend to mom- Eleanor Dosser. In todays words she was moms BFF. They spent many hours talking about things in the past, their Jarvis Jills team and things present- their families which brought them both such love and joy. Her mind was incredible with a touch of hummor and her cards were works of art. Kate has some of her favourites framed. We enjoyed our phone calls very much and will miss her. Our thoughts are with you all.
