She was the daughter of Roy Lee and Bertha Stoops Myers.
Lois was a member of Saint Andrews United Presbyterian Church. She also belonged to the Associated Artists of Butler County and the GFWC Intermediate League of Butler.
She was a proud member of the Butler High School Class of June, 1948.
Following her high school graduation, Lois was employed for six years by Spang and Company. She later attended Point Park College before being employed by First Seneca Bank, and then the Butler County Housing Authority. She remained with the Housing Authority as tenant supervisor and cashier for 23 years, retiring in 2000.
Lois was still in high school, working her after-school job at Harmon's Pharmacy on Center Avenue, when she met Frank Panei, Jr. on August 1, 1946 – his first day home from naval duty overseas. Frank and Lois married four years later, on August 26, 1950. Frank passed away on July 9, 2004. Lois missed him (her sweetheart) every day since then.
She loved taking care of her home, her beloved husband, Frank, and her children.
Lois spoke often of her parents and siblings and her childhood growing up on Elm Street. She loved sitting outside in the sun and traveling to Florida. She loved her family. We loved her and we will miss her very much.
