Lois Lee

Lois Lee, 99, of Fallbrook, Calif., beloved wife of her late husband, Randy for 58 years, passed peacefully surrounded by her family, on August 15, 2016.

Lois was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and moved with her family to Los Angeles when she was a young girl. She was a proficient high jumper in high school and was headed for the Olympics. She quit school in the 10th grade to help support her family. She later graduated from Huntington Park High School.

She had nine brothers and sisters. She met the love of her life, Randy, and married soon after. Randy said, "I wanted to marry her before someone else would snatch her up before me." She had three beauty shops in Los Angeles until she retired in 1966.

They had a wonderful life, and raised two sons, Gary and Mike. Lois was president of so many clubs and organizations, too many to mention. All were blessed by her participation and dedication. She moved to Fallbrook after Randy passed, in 1996, and has acquired many good friends here, especially those at Christ the King Lutheran Church, where she found her spiritual family.

Lois had nine grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, eight great-great-grandchildren, and two nieces and nephews. Their lives are touched forever by her love, humor and faith in God. She had a sparkle in her eyes and a playful smile that wasn't lost as she matured to the age of 99 and a half. (Don't forget the half.) She was so proud of that.

She loved family and friends and never missed an opportunity to celebrate, encourage, or show love and support during each life event they encountered. She loved Jesus and took comfort in His promises. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew her.

Our family would like to express sincere gratitude to Elizabeth Hospice and to the members of the Silvergate Retirement Residence. Their dedication and efforts to provide the utmost loving, quality care was a heartwarming blessing to the entire family.

We thank God, He blessed us with such a wonderful mother.

A memorial service will be held this Saturday, August 20, 2016 at 11 a.m. at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Fallbrook.
