Lois J. Schroeter

Janelle, Mindy,Sandra and family, It was my honor to have known your beautiful intelligent caring matriarch. She was wise and gave me great advice. She was aware but sensible. I loved her wash clothes and still have a couple. I am so sorry for your loss of this great woman Barb Stowe-Carpenter

To Lois's family and friends, I am so sorry for you loss of your mom, grandma and friend. I started at Nelson Industries in 1978 at the age of 20 and it was a small company back then. I remember Lois well as I was just starting my career that would last 35 years, and she was just about ending hers. She was so kind and reassuring. I remember her telling me "it's just a job" and "don't take life too seriously" and "lower your expectation and you will be happier". I carried her wonderful advice with me for many many years. Lois, I am happy to hear you lived a long and happy life after Nelson.

To Lois' family - This is Charlotte Wintrone's daughter, Cindy. I was shocked to see Lois' obituary in the paper today, as I was going to visit her at Prairie Park tomorrow. I'm so sad I did not get that visit in, as our talks made my day. I used to push Mom up to her apartment in the wheelchair and we would chat and chat. She was so very special. And I loved going through all of the books she had finished coloring, and reading Oscar's stories to the whole coloring group. My mom enjoyed your mom so much - as they both had a great sense of humor and were so kind. And, of course, we still laughed about Lois' 90th birthday party. My mom passed away last month, so I guess they can do the conga line together again with their boas! I am so fortunate to have known your mom Cindy
