The youngest of four, she was born in Scottsboro, AL on August 30, 1928. Marrying Bert Heine in her early twenties, Lois became the proud mother of two sons, Calvin, and David Heine.

Being a devout Christian, Lois remained a member of the First Baptist Church of Pensacola for 71 years and "walked her talk," always treating others with kindness, respect, compassion, and generosity!
