Lois Lane Forsyth died February 23, 2024, after living a wonderful 95 years. She was born Lilly Lois Elizabeth Lane on August 16th, 1928, in San Antonio, Texas. After graduating from Fox Tech Vocational High School, she spent many years working for the U.S. Civil Service. In the early 1950s, her husband’s Army career moved their young family to various U.S. duty stations. In 1956, the Army stationed Lois and her family in Bad Tölz, Germany. This location opened a whole new world of sightseeing opportunities, allowing her to visit greater Europe, sparking a lifelong passion for travel. Upon her return from Germany, Lois began a long, rewarding career with Trinity University in San Antonio. Beginning as a secretary, she spent over 30 years working across multiple departments, ascending to the administrator level. Her retirement in 1997 afforded her the opportunity to indulge her love of travel, spanning multiple countries with her family and friends. Later in her life, Lois was a proud member of the Holy Spirit Catholic Church, where she sang in the choir. Lois was an avid gardener, with a green thumb that nurtured several species of flowers, bushes and vines around her home. She was also a fervent movie watcher, accompanying her dear friends to countless premieres and showings.
