Lois was born August 18, 1925, the daughter of the late Charlie Kernie and Ima Butler Stephens. She grew up in the Hamer Community and graduated from Dillon High School.

They were married on April 12, 1947 in the church where she was raised, Kentyre Pesbyterian.
She worked in various administrative positions before devoting all her time to rearing her two sons, Steve and David.
