Lois Wilma Mason Pease, 101, died Monday, January 11, 2021 of the covid 19 virus.  She was born March 20, 1919, the daughter of Ralph W.

After her retirement from Soule Glass & Paint in 1986, Lois enjoyed working part time for UNUM until well into her seventies.  She also enjoyed lunches with family and friends, her pets, bingo, and crossword puzzles, and card games with friends

Also preceding her in death was her sister Loraine Stocks Coolbroth.

Surviving are her daughter Sandy Farrin (Terry) of South Portland, granddaughter Coleen Kurtz (Scott), Milford MI, great granddaughter Regan Flannery (Jake) and great great grandson Declan Flannery, Nashua NH.

We are very grateful for the excellent care and loving attention given to her by the Barron Center staff during the last three years of her life.
