Lois Dean Mabry
February 26, 1925 — June 13, 2020
Lois Dean Johnson Mabry was born on February 26, 1925 in Eugene, MO and passed away on June 13, 2020.
She was the daughter of Lloyd and Mabel Bell Johnson. Lois lived in Eugene until she was 17 and had completed high school. She then moved to Kansas City and went to work for First Loan Co. and was employed there for five years.
In 1946 she met Dennis Mabry and they were married September 27, 1947. They spent their first year of their married lives in Hannibal, MO, where Dennis was an engineer at radio station KHMO. After one year, they moved back to Kansas City where he could further his education and she went to work as a bookkeeper for Ralph L. Smith Lumber Co.
In April 1951, their first daughter, Janice, was born, and in July 1955, their second daughter, Linda, was born. Lois was a stay-at-home mom while the girls were in school and then later went back to work. She was active in PTA at Bristol, Nowlin, and Van Horn schools. She also volunteered at Independence Regional Hospital for 21 years.
In July 1950, they became members of Fairmount Christian Church. She served as a secretary, treasurer, and president of her Sunday school class for many years. She was a member of CWF and served as treasurer there for many years and sewed hundreds of lap robes.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Dennis, who died in June 2002, and her parents.
Survivors include her two daughters: Janice Putman (husband Vernon) and Linda Lynam; four grandchildren: Stacey Ross (husband Mike), Susan Kleps (husband Jason), Ian Lynam (wife Heidi) and John Putman; and nine great-grandchildren: Maya, Austin, Keira, Jack, Charlie Tesla, Lincoln, Julia, and Asher.
