Lois Ann Clough passed away Tuesday morning, January 5th, 2021. Lois was born in Cadillac Michigan and summered at Lake Mitchell in Cadillac for most of her life. Her parents were Doctor of Chiropractics and Founder of the Poetry Society of Michigan, Clifford Allen and Leora Allen (Bertholf). When the family moved to Detroit, Lois attended and graduated from Cass Tech High School where she enjoyed studying fashion illustration and costume design.

After the boys had grown, Lois pursued a modeling and acting career in Florida where she enjoyed wintering and worked as an extra in many hit movies such as "Police Academy", "Married to the Mob", "Let it Ride" and many more. She was tickled when in the summer of '89, the Cadillac Evening News featured her on the front page of an August weekend edition,interviewing her about her work in the movies. Lois was always a self-proclaimed ham and just loved the attention that interview brought!
