Lois Bott

Lois grew up in Gahanna and graduated from Gahanna Lincoln High School in 1943. She attended Capital University and graduated from Grant College of Nursing. She worked as a nurse for many years, including at Wexner Heritage House. She also cared extensively for many family members.

Lois loved family gatherings. She was well-known for her cherry pies, candy-cane cookies, holiday decorations, and parties. Lois loved music and nature, particularly flowers, pets, and birds. Her hobbies included embroidery and cross-stitching, and she enjoyed playing dominoes with her friends. She always made everyone feel welcome and was ready to sit and talk over a cup of coffee.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years, Lawrence; eldest son, David; and brother, Lynn (Mary) Clotts.

She is survived by sons Dana (Heather), Joseph (Jacqui), James (Andrea) and Daughter-in-law Cathy; grandchildren Kayleigh (Kyle), Luke (Sara), Abbey (Troy), Ryan, William (Haylie), Elisabeth (Liam), Liam (Zoe), Ethan, Natalie, Aidan (Abby) and Isaac; great-grandchildren Henry, Simon, Hallie, Evelyn, Liam and Briar; brother-in-law Raymond Bott, and many beloved nieces, nephews and friends.

A Passage Lois loved and knew well from the Gospel of John 14:1-3

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

The family would like to thank the staff at Bickford of Bexley and Zusman Hospice for their love and care.

A celebration of Lois' life will be held on Saturday, October 19, from 1PM-3PM at Schoedinger Northeast Funeral Home, 1051 E Johnstown Rd. Gahanna OH 43230.
