December 16, 1945 - April 14, 2025
Lois Marie Ferrero’s beautiful soul left this Earth on Monday April 14, 2025 after 79 wonderful years of life.
She was born Lois Marie Klemish on December 16, 1945 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. At the age of 5, her family moved to San Mateo CA, where she was raised.
Lois lived her life exactly as she wanted—full of beauty, humor, love, and devotion to her family. She was welcomed into Heaven by her parents, Billie and Bob Klemish, and her brother Jerry Klemish.
Lois was loved by all for her bright personality, kindness, witty humor, and most of all, her warm and unconditional love. She cared deeply for her family and was a loving and dedicated Mom, Grandma, and Gabba. She never missed an opportunity to spend time with the people she loved and was cherished by those lucky enough to know her.
Beauty was her business. She began her career as a beautician at the age of 18 and spent 53 years doing exactly what she loved, until she retired in 2016. She was the proud owner of The Hair Mill & Co. in downtown Woodbridge for over 20 years. She treasured her days surrounded by her friends and clients who returned year after year, not only for their hair, but for her company. She put her heart and soul into her business and created an environment of warmth and laughter.
The most important thing to Lois was her children and her family. She is survived by her loving children, Shannon Meredith (husband Dennis), Danny Davis (wife Denise), and Robert Lemmons; her grandchildren, Tatin (wife Rienna), Zoe, Daphne, and Drew; her great-grandchildren, Zoey, Tatin, and Teagan; her brother David Klemish.
As a Mom, Lois offered constant, unconditional, and unwavering love and support. She was always there with a listening ear, a piece of advice, or simply a comforting presence when it was needed most. She took great pride in her children and the families and lives they built, never failing to let them know just how proud she was of them.
As a Grandma, she made sure her grandchildren were always happy, full of sugar, and surrounded by love. She loved watching them grow and reach milestones, always offering support whenever they needed it. They will forever treasure memories of beach trips, sleepovers, chocolate cake for breakfast, and the soft, soothing hug that always made things better.
As Gabba, Lois found great joy in the laughter of her great-grandchildren, cherishing the sound of them running into her home and calling out for her. She spent countless hours watching them play on the backyard playground, listening to their songs, and painting by their side.
Lois spoke often and fondly of her brother, David, and loved him deeply. Their bond was unique and lifelong, and she held him in a special place in her heart. She also had a soul sister, her very best and lifelong friend, Dinah Roitz.
Lois will be deeply missed by her family and friends, who take comfort in knowing she is now watching over them with the same love and warmth she gave so freely in life.
We will miss you, Ma, Grandma, Gabba, LoLo. We know that you loved us like we love you.
