Lois Ann was a sales clerk for K-mart. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting and pencil coloring. Her life verse was: “He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:29-31‬ ‭NLT‬‬
