She was born to Robert and Ackey Dean Fraley March 1, 1938 in Beckley, WV.
Lois, as she liked to be called, was very proud of her WV roots and enjoyed visiting as often as possible. Lois graduated from Clear Fork High School in Colcord WV in 1956 and was very active in many clubs and organizations. She was an active member of the Colcord Presbyterian Church Choir. She loved to sing “Country Roads” as loud as she could. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family and friends.
Lois was well known for her down home Southern cooking, especially her famous peanut butter fudge and fried chicken, and for her talent for arranging flowers. She helped the local flower shops in Alabama with special arrangements and also did the flowers for many of her grandchildren’s’ weddings.
Lois was Elvis Presley’s #1 fan and was so proud of her elaborate collection of porcelain dolls, ornate bells, and decorative tea pots. She loved to shop and never left the house without her hair perfect, outfit coordinated with matching jewelry and her famous lipstick. Grandma Lois will always be known by her grandchildren as “the grandma with the lipstick.”
