She was last employed by Mahanoy Area School District as a bus aide. With her work ethic, she would never fully retire, as she said she would be too “bored”. Lois was an active member of the Mahanoy City Elks Ladies Auxiliary and former President of the Mahanoy City American Legion Ladies Auxiliary.
Those who knew Lois knew she loved the sun, Wildwood, the Amish, bundukies, General Hospital, her dog Sissy, her family, friends, and her pride and joy, her granddaughter Molly Frances.
Lois was preceded in death by her parents Francis and Margaret Mack. Her siblings Linda Sheeler and William “Sweeper” Sheeler. Her husband Pete Thomas. Her biological parents Lester and Carrie (Hummel) Sheeler.
She is survived by her daughter Mandy Reed and her husband Justin, Ashland. Her granddaughter Molly Reed. A sister Carol Dower, Shenandoah Heights, many nieces, nephews, cousins and many loving friends.
