And there begins the story of 64 years of marriage, good times and bad times til Dennis's death in 2004. Proverbs 31:10 "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." Didn't matter if she had been milking or tending to the sick her home was always open to everyone, peas and cornbread on the stove and sweet ice tea, I can taste it now! Lois taught school at the Winterfield School, then went on to work as a nurse. Milked cows and ran a dairy then found time to start her own business out of her home making and selling uniforms for the public. A thriving business she ran in her home and now located in Sulphur Springs, Brumley's Uniforms , which she ran for 35 years and it continues today under the ownership of her youngest daughter Judy . And she still raised 7 children and took in quite a few others. Lois was faithful servant and member of the Winterfield Baptist Church for 82 years.
