Similarly I also just found this site. I studied voice with Lois for years and have very fond memories of her. We have sent her regular holiday cards over the years. When our holiday card was returned to us today I knew something must have happened. I am very sad to hear of her passing but I am grateful her family was with her when she passed away. Lois was kind, warm, and funny. She was a truly wonderful spirit. She will be missed. - Barbara Johnson
In the years since Lois became ill, I thought of her regularly with gratitude and love. Yesterday I found this site and now look back on so many happy hours enjoying her friendship, superb musicianship, and extraordinary teaching skills. She taught me what music really is-- "(S/He) who sings prays twice!" Sending deepest sympathy to the family and friends she so loved and has left behind in fond memory as a precious gift of life.

Lois was an intelligent, superb and patient teacher and performer. She sang at my wedding. Her teachings have stayed with me to this day. I know Lois we will be missed by all those who had the privilege and joy of knowing her.
Lois was a wonderful teacher: supportive and encouraging. It was a privilege to know her and learn from her.
I was a voice student of Lois's when she taught at Foxcroft School in MIddleburg. She helped me develop my breathing techniques and introduced me to Lieder and Art Song repertory. Her encouragement and training helped me improve my singing, and I continued to sing in choirs, choruses - even the San Francisco Symphony - afterwards. At Foxcrot, we enjoyed her occasional concerts. She had a lovely voice.

Lois was my Aunt. I have wonderful memories of Holiday and summer visits that I will treasure forever. She was gracious, loving, intelligent and kind. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Lois was an enormously gifted musician and teacher, a wise and caring mentor, and a fun and loving person. She will be greatly missed.
