It is with great sorrow that we announce the death of Lois Hains, who passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 13th, in hospice care at Diamond Willow in Alexandria at the age of 102. Previously she lived in independent care at Grand Arbor in Alexandria for 10 years, and it was there that she suffered a severe stroke on Thursday, July 7th. We are grateful for the care and assistance of the staff at Grand Arbor for these past 10 years; for the help provided by care givers at Alternative Senior Care over the past year; and for the caring support and assistance of the staff at Diamond Willow and those of Douglas County Hospice over her final days. Lois is survived by her sons, Ronald (Suzanne) and Kendall; grandchildren, Alexander (Jennifer) and Kristen (Michael); and great-grandchildren, Joshua and Nicholas. She was preceded in death by her loving husband (of 76 years) Leonard, her parents, eight siblings, and a son, Charles, who died in infancy. In Lois’s 10 years at Grand Arbor, she thoroughly enjoyed seeing her many, many friends and participating in countless events and social activities. She loved to be with people and she constantly cared about and kept close tabs on her family, friends, and neighbors, not just in her time at Grand Arbor, but throughout her life. The coffee pot was always on.
