Lois worked for Woodman of the World Life Insurance Co. in Omaha and retired in 1978.
Lois loved gardening, knitting, crocheting and doting on her grandchildren. We will remember all the time spent with her with great fondness. Special memories include birthday sleepovers, card games, Barbie doll clothes, the best fried chicken ever made and lazy summer nights on the porch sipping tea and chasing fireflies.

We would like to thank the wonderful nurses and staff at Canyon Lakes for the attentive care given to Lois during her stay.
to the family of Lois Nancy Worden, you don’t know me but i would like to share with you a thought from the bible it is found in revelation 20:3,4 it reads with that i heard a loud voice from the throne say: Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples.And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Meditate and reason this scipture and notice the promise God is giving us.I send you my condolences.
Iam sorry to hear about the loss of Lois. My mother Jean Ell, was a resident of Canyon Lakes also. Whenever I would go to visit my mom who just passed away march 8, 06 I would make a point to say hello to Lois. I usually would find Lois wheeling herself up and down the hall. She was always very friendly. Sometimes as I was leaving I would see Lois and who I believe was her daughter in a room reading. Lois I could tell really enjoyed that. She was very focused on what was being read to her. I know you will miss her terribly, as I do my mother. Like Einans said, celebrate that she was here. How nice that she lived such a long life. My best to all of you!
My thoughts are with all of the family at this difficult time. May your memories of the time you shared with Lois comfort you. She was a very special person.
