On July 25, 1970 she married Charles Juedes at First English Lutheran Church, Wausau. He survives. Some of her many interests included flower gardening, visiting with her neighbors and decorating for all the holidays, especially her favorite, Christmas. Lois was a selfless person who was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She was very involved with many church activities, including bible study, helping out with the WEE Program, fellowship events, was a member of the altar guild and decorating the church for all special occasions. She also enjoyed cooking for the Golden Oldies at the Hewitt Town Hall. Singing and dancing to country music with her husband was one of her favorite pastimes, and together, they had the opportunity to attend the Hodag festival in Rhinelander. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family and spoiling her grandchildren with presents, candy and lots of love. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
