Lois Catherine Rudolph – our loving "Gram Cracker" – was born on February 5, 1931 and passed away February 16, 2010.  She was born in Kenosha, WI, moved to Canton, MI in 1975, and retired with her beloved husband, Jack, to Spring Hill, where they enjoyed many happy years with friends that meant so much to them.

Lois was a beautician, co-owning her own shop in Kenosha. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, swimming, golf and her Bud Light. She was a Eucharistic minister and was devoted to her Catholic faith.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack; parents, Floyd and Mary Barber; and her brother, Albert.  Lois is survived by her children, John (Kris),  Thomas (Lora), Lynne Zelenski (Paul) and James; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

There will be a Memorial Mass at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church at 9:30AM on February 19, 2010.  In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Lois' memory to HPH Hospice.

Her family would like to thank her many friends from Timber Pines for their friendship, love and support.
