Lois Marie Gaskins

Lois Marie Gaskins was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She passed away on November 23, 2022 at the age of 93 having lived a full and happy life.

Lois was born into the Great Depression and was shaped by the sacrifice and commitment that came to represent her generation.

Lois can best be remembered as a devoted wife to her husband, Tom and as a mother that possessed an unwavering commitment to her family.
