Throughout her years, Lois remained actively involved in her community and her faith as a faithful member of St. Michael's Catholic Church in South Sioux City. Her hobbies reflected a nurturing spirit; she enjoyed walking, gardening, quilting, sewing, and sharing cherished moments playing cards with friends. Lois also found joy in fishing with family, showcasing her love for the outdoors and bonding with loved ones.

She is survived by her daughter Linda Miller of Sun City West, AZ; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren; her sister Darlene King; and daughters-in-law Patricia Mahr and Laury Mahr.

Lois was preceded in death by her parents, Milton and Inez Schulze; her husband, Joseph "Joe" Mahr; two sons, Lyle Mahr and Larry Mahr; as well as one sister and three brothers.

Her legacy is one of love, compassion, and an unyielding commitment to her family and faith, values that will continue to inspire all who knew her.
