Lois was born on August 20th, 1933. She was a member of Edgil Grove Baptist Church in Jasper. Lois loved the Lord and dedicated many hours to bible study and prayer. Lois married Charles Ellis Henderson on June 20th, 1950 and devoted her life to being a loving mother and homemaker. She was well known for her cooking, especially her banana pudding, pound cake, fried chicken, and biscuits. Lois enjoyed gardening and planting flowers.
