She graduated from Ashtabula High School in 1961.

On September 4, 1966, Lois J. Miller married Richard W. Fassett; together they started a family and shared fifty-five wonderful years of marriage and memories together.

Lois enjoyed macramé, crocheting, knitting, reading (mostly non-fiction) and ceramics.

Fassett, her daughters: Suzanne (Nick) Fassett-Wright and Kerrie (Jay) Olzak, her granddaughter, Claire Downes (Ellis Reed), her brother, Melvin E. “Sam” (Connie) Miller; Lois was also very excited to become a “great-grandma” this October when her great-grandson Atlas Reed will be born.
