Lois was born to Frank Doven and Daisy Dean Bass on March 22, 1925 .  Hers was a humble lifestyle.  She loved the Lord, her family and friends.  She had a “green thumb” and enjoyed beautiful flowers.  She had an inner strength and grace that sustained her and was evident in her longevity of 93 years of age.

She was the youngest of 5 children.  She had 3 sisters and 1 brother that preceded her in death.

Her parents moved from New Mexico to Abilene, Texas so she could attend college. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Abilene Christian College.

She is survived by her loving family: son, Oliver Frank Kirk and his wife Barbara; daughter, Sandi Hedges; granddaughter, Angela Derby and husband Jeff and her children, Myah and Wyatt Grady; grandson, Christopher Wise; 4 nieces and 4 nephews; 2 step grandchildren and 10 step great grandchildren;

The family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude for the heartfelt visits and phone calls; the support of the University Church of Christ family; and her loving caregivers at Northern Oaks Nursing Facility and Kinder Hearts Hospice.

“Because He lives I can face tomorrow; because He lives all fear is gone; because I know He holds the future; and life is worth the living because He lives.”
