Of Oakland, Oregon passed away August 23, 2014 at the age of 94. She was born Lois Alice Desire McCartney on December 4, 1919, in Hanford, California.
Lois spent her last few months at Chantele’s Loving Touch memory care facility in Sutherlin, Oregon. She is survived by her husband Milt Cook, daughters Marti Free, Diana Rausch and Shirley Whitehurst, and son Brian Cook. She is also survived by many loving grandchildren, great- grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
Although primarily a homemaker during her more than 70 years of marriage, for many years Lois worked as a licensed childcare professional and was fondly thought of as a “second mom” to the many youngsters she cared for.
