She is survived by their 4 children: Rev. Larry Fox of Wapakoneta, Rita (Robert) Kimmel of Celina, Paula Pennington of Grand Rapids, MI and Kathy (Richard) Phillips of Celina; and 2 brothers: Max Bennett of Ohio City and Theo (Marlene) Bennett of Kettering.

She worked for a number of years in the office at the Stokely Van Camp canning plants in Celina and Curtice, Ohio. Lois was a member of the Celina First Church of the Nazarene. A long-time Sunday School Teacher, everyone there knew her as "Grandma Fox."
