I am so sorry for your loss. Lois was a strong, wise, patient woman who I knew for many years through our working together at Eden Seminary. I am proud to call her friend. My condolences to your family.
While I did not know Lois I can say she must have been a remarkable person just by knowing her daughter Linda and her granddaughters Lydia and Amanda. They all have qualities that would make any mother or grandmother proud. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family at this time.
Linda,I’m so sorry for your loss.
No matter how long they live it’s always so hard when they leave us.
God bless you and your family.
Love, Pam
Omg, Linda, I’m so sorry for you and your sisters and family. Of course I’ll be there & let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
My deepest sympathy to You and All the Family. She will always be with Us in Our hearts.
God Bless.

Lois worked at Eden Seminary in positions of extraordinary leadership. For many years she was the support for the Board of Directors while working alongside the Vice President, David Harkins. I remember well teaching Lois how to use a computer the first time. She was tied to her typewriter and was a reluctant convert to the advantages of computers. Nevertheless she made the change in this and many areas of her life. Students loved her, staff loved her, alums loved her. Her gifts of care and kindness to Eden were considerable.
Linda,
Mike and I hope You and your family are comforted by many wonderful memories
Linda, Paul, Lydia, Amanda, Jeff, and Aaron : My heart aches for you. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Zoe, Cathy, Linda,

I am blessed to have had the Mohesky family an active part of my life during our high school years.
Your mother was always such a kind, caring, and supportive ‘mom’ too me.
