Lois was one of the most special Ladies that we have ever known and she loved all her family, each and every one. If God had let us choose our mom, we could not have had one as precious as she was so we’re glad that God chose her for us! She taught us to pray, taught us morals, standards, to think of others, and to always make right choices. She taught us all about life and how to make it right if we make good choices. She was precious and absolutely a wonderful mother to all her children, to her grandchildren, to her great-grandchildren, and to all of you! She will be missed greatly! Lois is preceded in death by her husband; her parents; two daughters, Bobbie Ruth Dodson and Ruby Jewel Chaney; one grandson, Jerry Lovict (J.L.) Miller; three brothers, Hershel West, Lesley West and wife Julia West, and Archie West; and three sisters, Louise Barnes and husband Elbert Barnes, Rosie Lee McInis and husband Lewis, and Minnie Irene Mosley and husband Horace Mosley, Jr. Lois is survived by her son, Harold (Hal) Lovict Henderson; daughters, Linda Earlene Marvel and Lisa Renee Dybala; one brother Caril West; 7 grandchildren, Becky Sue Joiner, Alan Bodey Marvel, Clifford Ray Miller, Debbie Medve, Mitchell Coey, Stacy Bullard, and Sharla Miller; 13 great-grandchildren; and sister-in-law Doris West
