She is lovingly survived by her son, Allan (Rhonda) Michalski of Marshfield, and two grandchildren, Margaret Michalski and Benjamin Michalski, both of Milwaukee. She is also survived by a brother, Marvin (Lorraine) Michalski of Marshfield and a sister, Judy (Dale) Brumbaugh of Spencer.

She was preceded in death by her parents, two sisters, Martina Smith and Bernice Willner and a brother, Donald Michalski. 

Lois was a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She lived a full life with her family which was the center of it always. Her faith carried her and was a great source of strength for her. Her life and ability to love her family provided a wonderful example for all who knew her. The world is a better place because she lived and loved. She will be dearly missed.
