Lois Marie (Phipps) Smith was born on February 9, 1940 in Garden Grove, lowa to Paul and Mary Elizabeth Phipps.

She spent her childhood in Sand Springs, Oklahoma where she would meet the love of her life, Lester Smith. On June 6, 1957 they were united in marriage and remained in Sand Springs where they would raise their family and also run a car lot together.

They both loved traveling and put many miles on their Goldwing motorcycle seeing what sites the country had to offer.

They also loved animals and were never without a dog, or two or three! They even had a fowl farm at one point and in their latter years after moving to Haskell, Oklahoma they had rabbits, mini horses and cows.

On April 14, 2024 after a long battle with dementia, Lois gained her wings...
