Lois DeMone passed away peacefully in her Cherry Hill, NJ home on October 15th, 2020. She was our hero and an icon to so many. She fought her fight against cancer with such determination and dignity. The most incredible warrior and someone we will always idolize.

We love you Mom and Mom-Mom endlessly and we know you are now at peace watching over all of us. Lois was a remarkable women, an extremely devoted Mother to Lois and Richard Vespe, Dana DeMone and Grandmother to Dene, Nicholas and Carsen Vespe. A loving sister to Victoria DiCianno and deceased Theresa Wigand, and a caring special Aunt to many nieces and nephews.

Lois was also the most loyal and compassionate devoted friend you could have ever asked for. She was also the heart and soul of LCRT Salon where she worked for 40+ years. Her smile was infectious and no matter where she went, her radiance lit up the room. While she had unmatched style and always impeccably dressed, it was her beautiful heart that always shined brightest. She was a kind soul with unparalleled generosity. Lois touched the hearts of everyone she met. Her wonderful positive energy and extreme love for life will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate to know her. Her style, her grace and her beautiful face will be forever etched in our hearts.
We love you Mom, you will always be in our hearts. 

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made in Lois DeMone's name to The Cooper Foundation, 3 Cooper Plaza, Suite 500, Camden, NJ 08103 or online http://foundation.cooperhealth.org/ways-to-give/make-adonation and select "Pink RosesTeal Magnolia Fund 2020" or to Discovery Ministries Inc, PO Box 76, Haddonfield, NJ 08003 http://dmi-nj.-org

Hi Mommy How is it up there in Heaven? I had a dream that was real you came to me and told me that u were enjoying your new life... I asked you tell me about your new life and you told me Dana it’s the fountain of youth.. No one is old everyone is happy all the time..I said Mom you were Happy all the time even if there was something bothering you. You always smiled and when u did it was Just Pure SUNSHINE... I then sat down next to you and begin to Thank you for who I am today because with unconditional love and just the MOM And DAD your were... You are just my IDOL ... Then I woke up and you told me Dana I love you I said Mom OCEAN SEA SKY LOVE ... You blew a kiss and so gracefully walked away..

Lois, I see your photo but you not being here, in this world, is difficult to imagine. This world was a much better place with you in it. Your presence was a force that was magnetic, and your caring and generosity came through your every pore and there was always seemed to be magic, wherever you were. I will always carry you and your wonderful family, in my heart, forever.

Although, most would agree, you are likely in a better place than here, but that's not enough. Most of us are not that magnanimous to have that satisfy us from missing your voice, smile and presence in the room. I miss all of those things and know how much your family misses them.

I pray they can feel you and that you can manage to send them signals, loud and clear, that you are around them, listening and protecting them.

I love you, honey. If you have the extra time, feel free to send me a sign, too!

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my darling friend! I'm sure you're partying with the angels and helping them to stay organized. I miss seeing your face at the front desk at LCRJ Salon upon arrival. The staff is always very helpful and kind but your absence is a hard reality. Your very presence, one of beguiling charm and fashionable impression was inspiring to all who entered during your tenure, never to be duplicated. Your friendship over the years gifted me with cherished memories. Your support, a beacon of light during some of my most trying moments, will never be forgotten. I'm sure many feel the same as I do each of us mourning the loss of your brilliant smile, your shoulder to lean on and the sound of your voice. Oh that voice! I love you Lois and till we meet again, I'll be jealous of the angels and their time spent with you. Hugs and kisses, Denise

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done I’d like to leave an echo whispering Softly down the way of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

It was 1993 I was 21 yrs old and, I had just recently lost my mother due to colon cancer when I first met Lois. I walked into LCRJ to interview for a receptionist when this BEAUTIFUL light came to greet me with the BIGGEST smile I had ever seen. I was stunned by her beauty, class, and grace. We had walked into the office sat down and, started to talk. She said "Before we get to the interview process, tell me about yourself I want to know you first" I told her with tears beginning to well up in my eyes "Well... I had just recently lost my Mom a month ago" She immediately said with a calm sweet voice "Stop there Sweetheart" and gave me the BIGGEST hug I ever got in my life or since. It seemed like hours when we finally stopped hugging. It was so endearing to me and, it's truly something I will NEVER forget. Within 10 min of meeting her she made me feel like my own Mother did "Protected and Safe like nothing could hurt me". Honestly we didn't even really discuss anything after that. She immediately said "When can you start?" I was so happy and, we both cried. That's the kind of person she was to EVERYONE who came in contact with her. Loyal to the bone. She protected and, made everyone feel safe. My heart is broken by this loss but, I know the BEAUTIFUL light shines on us still keeping us safe. I love and miss her dearly and, she will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. xoxo

We have lost someone who held a special place our heart although no one else can truly share the sadness we feel now our memories of our loved one bring us peace and reassures us that love endures forever. With tender thoughts and prayers we celebrate our loved ones life,a life that touched many with gifts of kindness,caring,and love. I will always keep memories of Lois in my Heart. She was a Jewel,and to know her was to Love her.We all need a time for tears,Not for the one who is now at peace with God in Heaven.But for ourselves as we realize that things will never be the same.Together we accomplished many wonderful achievements. We raised two beautiful Daughters and were blessed with three wonderful grand children.The times we shared together were unforgetable. When the sun goes down,I dread the darkness closing in. What caries me through the hardest nights is knowing Lois will never be enveloped by darkness and pain again.Rest In Peace my Wife,Love Pat

I an very fortunate to have married into the Bonanni family and have such a wonderful cousin that I loved. 

A little girl asked " what are all the lights in the sky?" Her mother answered "They are the good people who have lived here and passed on to heaven".
Lois is our star looking over us.
love to all her family.  I have always loved being with you all.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom! She was a beautiful person inside and out! Always happy to see me and my little girl Dana/AKA Flynnie Lil Lois hope you and your family are doing the best you can at this time. I recently stopped in “Finally” and asked for you that’s when I was told that you were so busy taken care of your mom! I always knew what a great woman you are with a beautiful family, your Mom will if not already will give you a sign that she will always be looking down at you! It maybe a dream a scent of her or even a Daisy! You did a wonderful thing for your Mom♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

More like a sister than a cousin. I remember the Sundays at Grandmom's house for dinner, the holiday's with family, the days spent at the movies and the constant love that we all shared. It's hard to imagine this world without you in it. I will always love you.

Lois, you leaving all of us is an immeasurable loss to everyone that loved you. I can’t imagine the world without your energy, bright smile and stilettos. You were so brave, Lois, and gave us all something to emulate. You were smiles and grace with young Lois and your entire family there with you, until you said goodbye. You will be loved and admired from so many and certainly me, till the end of our times and we all meet again. You are indelible, my friend.

The DeBenedictis family has had the great fortune to travel to many beautiful & exciting places , but none more beautiful & exciting as Cherry Hill , New Jersey Lol. We all absolutely couldn’t wait to go see Aunt Lois , Uncle Pat & of course our beautiful cousins little Lois & Dana. From the moment we arrived we were met by Aunt Lois at the door , she was always smiling , absolutely beautiful , dressed to the nines & screaming at the top of her lungs , “ the cousins from New York are here “ . Omg Lol she was so amazing . That is the woman & Aunt I will always remember , beautiful , loving , spirited & kind hearted .
I’m privileged to have had her in my life.
Thanks so much for every special moment you have given to me .

Rest In Peace Aunt Lois I ❤️ U

I’m incredibly grateful to have known and been apart of you, your family, and the memories I will forever cherish! You’re fight was an incredible inspiration and a reflection of your shining personality that will forever be remembered! Love you!

Lois was a beautiful person who loved her family very much. As a teen I have fond memories making “special chocolate chip cookies” with little Lois, and how much Lois loved them! She was a kind, caring person who was truly beautiful inside and out. There will be a hole that can’t be filled, without her here. She was one of a kind and unforgettable. Prayers and hugs to Lois, Dana and the rest of the family as you navigate through this difficult time.

Our Story

January 8, 2021




I first met Lois in 7th and 8th grade in 1953/54 at St. Mary’s grammar school. Lois was my first date; we went to the Cambria movie one Saturday afternoon. After 8th grade graduation my family moved to the northeast.

 Lois an I met some 38 years later at an 8th grade class reunion in 1992 again 1994 and 1998. We were together until her peaceful passing in my arms on October 15, 2020 after a long hard (years) fight with Cancer.

  Rest in peace sweetheart, love always and forever Tony
