Obituary for Lois Louise Reish
Lois Louise Reish was born February 17, 1930 to Alva and Ada Summers on the family farm in Bennett, Colorado. She was the youngest of eight children. She attended primary school in the Bennett farming community until her family moved to Littleton, Colorado in 1940. Lois graduated from Littleton High School in 1947.
Lois met Bennie Reish after his return from service in the Navy, later marrying on May 1, 1949 at her oldest sister’s home in Englewood, Colorado. They were married for 52 wonderful and loving years and raised six children; Richard, Ronald, Debra, Randy, Rodney and Darla, 9 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Lois first attended First Presbyterian Church of Littleton in 1941. She lovingly served her church family as a Deacon, Funeral Coordinator, a member of the Open Door Circle, and joyfully volunteered for many other church activities.
Growing up during the depression years showed her many hardships. She grew to become a very strong, self-sufficient and loving woman. Lois was a stay at home mother, later joining the workforce and eventually retiring from Safeway where she worked as a deli clerk.
Lois joined the Lord on August 24, 2019. She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, husband Bennie, son Richard, daughter Debra and great granddaughter Izabelle. She enjoyed many long and loving years with her family and friends and will be greatly missed.
