Lois K. (McDaniels) Reed, 74, passed away on November 6, 2024 surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on September 25, 1950 in Selbyville, West Virginia to the late Jimmie and Wilma Jean (Page) McDaniels. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandson, Tyler Weil. She is survived by her daughter, Rhonda (Christopher) Weil, of Economy, her brother, Larry (Wilda) McDaniels of New Brighton, sisters; Betty (Jerry) Stockman, North Sewickley, Vickie (Doug) Adams of New Brighton; grandson, ITC Cody (Miranda) Weil of Suffolk, Virginia, great grandchildren, Cole, Addison and Daniel, a dear uncle William “Tuck” (Norma Jean) Page of Buckhannon, West Virginia, nieces, Lori, Geri Lynn and Alexis, nephews, Adam, Micah, and Matthias, great nieces: Janna, Joci, Emma Grace, Ava, Audra, Olivia and great nephews: Keith, Joey,  Jonny, Bub (aka Fat Rat to his Aunt Lois), Matthias Jr., Roman, Cayson; great great nephew, Jaxson, numerous cousins, her best friend and “sister” of over 57 years, Patty (Bob) Weber and Darlas Zink who she referred to lovingly as her “other daughter.”

Lois was retired from Co Go’s in East Rochester.  She was an avid fan of Elvis Presley and could often be found listening to his music, tapping her feet to his timeless tunes. She also had a special place in her heart for I Love Lucy, finding joy and laughter. Those who knew Lois will fondly remember her infectious sense of humor and the way she could bring light and laughter into any room.

Lois’s life was marked by her incredible work ethic and her ability to balance raising a family while giving her all to those around her. She never hesitated to help others, and her selflessness will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her love for her family and friends was unwavering, and her presence will be deeply missed.

Friends will be received on Sunday, November 10, from 2 p.m. until time of service at 6 p.m., at J & J Spratt Funeral Home, 1612 Third Avenue, New Brighton with Pastor Angela Smith officiating. A celebration of life will also be held at a later date.

Private interment will be held in Oak Grove Cemetery of Freedom.

A special thank you to her neighbors and friends, Michael Jackson and Iris Gardner for their years of friendship and love.
