Lois' warm and welcoming personality was evident to all who knew her. Her infectious smile never faded, and she always approached life with grace and positivity.

She also leaves behind many wonderful friends and co-workers from her years at the library who will cherish her memory forever.
 
Lois Helton's presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy of kindness and positivity will continue to inspire those whose lives she touched. Rest in peace, Lois.
