Lois Marguerite (Woodward) Davis was born to Dan and Alice (Headrick) Woodward in Indianola, Iowa on April 20, 1931. In December 1935, she was blessed with a little sister, Mary (Woodward) Streeter.

In May 1948, she met the love of her life, Richard Davis and they dated for 1 year. She graduated from Indianola High School in May 1949 and was married on June 10, 1949 at the Methodist parsonage in Indianola.

On June 14, 1950, their first son, Steven was born. Marshall was born June 24, 1952. Twins, Jon and Barry were born October 25, 1953 and then along came Christine, who was born March 21, 1959.

Lois never worked outside of the home. She was a homemaker and raising five children was a big job!

Richard retired in April 1983 and together they enjoyed traveling, gardening, bird watching and going to the grandchildren's sports, school activities and overnight slumber parties.

Lois was a member of the Linn Grove United Methodist Church. Religion was a big part of her life and she read the bible and prayed faithfully. Her pride and joy were her 11 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.
