"I grew up in Decatur, and met Jim on a blind date. We have 5 children, 10 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren. We moved to Bement in January of 1977 and opened a restaurant (The Rooster Inn). After 32 years we retired. I still miss the people (we made many friends) but not the long hours and hard work."

Lois doesn't really have a favorite author or book. "I do enjoy John Grisham, Ken Follett, and Harlan Coben. While browsing the library shelves I found books by Petra Durst Benning and Ellen Marie Wiseman which I really enjoyed."

For an interesting conversation, ask Lois about her job cross-stitching, her kids, or Tucker.
