Lois is survived by her children: daughter Annette Carpenter and husband Jamie of Harrisburg, and son Dennis and wife Pam (Hatley) Eudy of Monroe...and grandchildren, Morgan & Caleb Carpenter and Adam (wife, Dominique) & Hunter Eudy. Lois's husband, Grady A. Eudy, preceded her in death in January 2015 following 56 years of marriage. They lost their precious firstborn daughter, Martha Carol, in January 1964 at the age of 2. Lois was also preceded in death by her seven brothers and sisters: Ruth Turner, Margaret Moore, Maxine Putnam, Betty Mauney,
J.D. Short, Bob Short & Pat Moore.
In addition to scores of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, Lois leaves behind her brothers and sisters-in-law who were an integral part of her life: Ruby (Don) Sloop, Barbara (Mickey) Slack, Evelyn Miller; Curtis (Debbie) Eudy and Gene Eudy.
The family would like to extend special thanks to all the caregivers who assisted Lois and allowed her to remain at home until she lost her house in a fire last December---cousins Marcia Freeman & Kim Tapp as well as Angie, Kathy, Joyce, Sylvia, Jackie, Amy and anyone else we may have forgotten. Lastly, we would like to extend our deepest love and gratitude to Robin Mundie and her wonderful
staff at Avendelle for their impeccable care this year!
Lois graduated from Kings Mountain High School in 1951 and then moved to Charlotte and attended business classes. In 1959, she and Grady married and moved to Monroe, NC where they lived on his family land and raised their children. Lois enjoyed a successful career of over 30 years with Teledyne Allvac where she began as a data processer and moved on to become the manager of the "Computer Room" prior to her retirement. She also served as the lead "teacher" of the Nursery at Macedonia and participated in a women's bowling league with Allvac for many years. In 1995, Grady and Lois built a beautiful home in Jefferson, SC where they spent their retirement. Lois's greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and hosting delicious Sunday dinners for the family. She was a fabulous cook-and loved to read, take walks, travel, and garden.
The family suggests memorials be made to Hospice & Palliative Care Charlotte Region (7600 Little Ave., Charlotte NC 28226) or Macedonia Baptist Church (610 Macedonia Church Road, Monroe NC 28110.)
Holland Funeral Service & Crematory is serving the family.
