She worked as a make-up artist, bookkeeper, hospital administrator, founder of a bank, and an accomplished painter, with exhibitions. Lois was preceded in death by her parents Tillie and David Mermelstein, her loving husband Max Cohen, and is survived by her sister Beverly Goldstein, her son Lee Jackson, her daughter Jodi Jackson, her grandchildren, David and Charlie Jackson, step-daughter Nancy Sills, her daughter in-law Pam Jackson, grandson in-law Hart Pullman, and her two cats Rocky and Blue. She also leaves behind many loving friends who always enjoyed her wicked sense of humor, her love of the card game Pan, exercising in the park, and her goodwill and acceptance. She was funny, warm, loving and kind, and was very loved by those around her. She genuinely cared for and cherished people’s company, and lived everyday like it was her last. She loved life her optimism was contagious. She is forever in our hearts and will be very missed. They broke the mold when Lois was created, and was adored by everyone she touched.
