Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
So sorry to hear of the death of my friend, Lois Price. She was one of the sweetest ladies I knew. She was a kind and loving person. She was a longtime faithful member of Benvenue Baptist Church. She made the best sweet potato casserole. I will miss you Lois, but I know where you are. Sincere condolences to the family.
Alton, I am so very sorry for the loss of your sister.
In all the years I knew Lois, I never saw her without a smile. She was a friendly and loving person to her family and her friends. I know Billy and the daughters and other family members will cherish their good memories of a LIFE WELL LIVED. Elbert and Marietta Robbins
Not sure if any of you will remember me from WEHS and Oakdale church but I am so sorry for the loss of Lois. Always thought she was extra special and nice when we were very young. Think she may have been in the class with my husband Clifton Ruffin at West Edgecombe.
Harry and Terry, we just heard today of the passing of your Mother. You are in our prayers and we will see you Monday. Love to you.
Our West Edgecombe School classmates left here on earth are now very few. Lois was very special and dear to our hearts. She will be greatly missed. WEHS Class of 1952
