She was preceded in death by her parents, Perdy Eggers Grogan and William Claude Grogan of Zionville, NC and by her beloved husband, Ralph D. Jones of Johnson City, TN.

In her early years, Lois was employed at the Bemberg plant in Elizabethton, TN. Throughout her married life, she worked closely alongside her husband in his insurance business while also raising their four children. Lois was a woman of deep faith and a longtime member of Central Baptist Church in Johnson City. She was gentle and loving and was a constant support to her family and friends.
