Williams on April 25 , 1928 at Ashley Creek, Missouri went home to be with her Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ on September 23,2015 , at Texas County Memorial Hospital in

Houston, Missouri.

She spent most of her childhood working on the family farm in Dent County,

Missouri. As a teenage girl Lois worked at Montauk State Park, before marrying her

husband Alfred James Gorman on November 20,1946. To this union they were blessed

with three children, Velma, James (Jim), and Larry. They resided in Dent County except

for the time they spent living in California ( 1951-1956) where her husband worked as a

produce farmer.

Some of her favorite memories were spent in the log woods working alongside

her husband and her children .She often recounted stories of them being out there as a

family picking up pinecones, huckleberries and anything to keep busy. Lois was a

lifelong member of The Montauk Baptist Church where her and her husband spent

many years driving the church bus. Lois was a believer in our Lord and Savior and was

saved as a young woman. She enjoyed attending church at Montauk until her health no

longer permitted.

She will most often be remembered by her loved ones as always keeping busy.

Many of them recount the times she was always cleaning an animal whether it be a

squirrel, rabbit, or whatever it may have been that Alfred brought home. She enjoyed

spending time with all of her grandchildren, and watching them while their parents were

working. She had a great love of animals and would feed anyone and anything that ever

came around. Some of her most cherished memories were spent with her family. She

was a very devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She will be dearly missed by all who

had the pleasure of meeting her.
