She relocated to Sun City, Arizona in 1986 and married Stephen Griswold on January 20, 1993.  She moved back to Norfolk in 2019 residing at The Meadows Senior Living in Norfolk.

Lois loved reading, visiting, square dancing, helping at her church, doing crossword puzzles, joking around, getting her hair fixed, nightly phone calls and spending time with her family, and of course her coffee. Her contagious laughter and nightly conversations will be greatly missed.
