Lois Marie McNally, beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, passed away peacefully October 9, 2010. She was born June 8, 1923 (87 years) to Carl and Mary Soderstedt in Duluth, Minnesota. She is preceded in death by her husband of 55 years Francis W, her parents, her brother William and sister Sara. She is survived by her sister Janet (Dolly) of Duluth, three children: Son James (Joanne) of Milton, WA, daughter Mary Allen of Bonney Lake and son Dennis (Mary) McNally of Edgewood. She was proudly blessed with six grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
Lois and Frank moved with their adult children and their families to the Pacific Northwest in 1970 from Duluth Minnesota. Here in the Pacific North West, out of the home, Lois worked primarily as a housekeeper for Good Samaritan Hospital 1978-1984. She adored her family, was consientious, thoughtful, caring and never without a cookie for a loved one. She was organized and detailed orientated, sharp-minded....a strong opponent in Dominoes, Scrabble or any card game dealt. She was a woman who loved her family intensely and whose family will cherish and miss her for the rest of the days of their lives.
Lois' final days were spent at Good Samaritan after receiving a debilitating stroke on Sept 26. Her strength, courage and love for family helped her stay with us until we could each say good-bye. She will be forever in our hearts. A memorial service will be held at Powers Funeral Home in Puyallup on Saturday, October 16, 2010 at 1:00 PM.
