Lois May (Cole) McGarry

August 20, 1935 ~ February 25, 2019

Lois May Cole McGarry was born on August 20, 1935, and passed away on February 25, 2019.

She was preceded in death by parents Sarah and Glen Cole and sister Zella Cole Winters.

She is survived by two sisters: Glenda Alexander (husband Jerry and family) and Opal McCracken (husband Mike and family) and sister-in-law Betty Jean Sconyers and family.

Lois was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. She started school in a one-room schoolhouse in Aetna, Kansas. She had many friends from Aetna, Madison, and Kiowa, Kansas.

She met and married the love of her life, Jewell, on March 8, 1953. They have two children Suzie Meyer (husband Dan) and Butch McGarry (wife Gail). She dearly loved her grandchildren Chad McGarry and wife Amber, Adam Meyer, Brooke Meyer, Jason Cole McGarry and Joe Meyer. Special gifts were great-grandchildren Julia, Gentry and Ainsley.

Through all of their many moves Lois always created a fun and loving home. Her special love of family and friends brought many to visit and were welcomed with open arms.

Lois spent most of her life as a homemaker and worked in insurance after her children were grown. Upon Jewell's retirement from Phillips 66 they enjoyed many years on their 80 acres raising cattle and tending their garden. They also enjoyed traveling in their fifth wheel. Their special travel partners were her uncle and aunt Worthy and Ethelyn Burris.

Lois and Jewell moved to Edmond, Oklahoma, in 2011 to be near their daughter.

Lois will be celebrated on March 16, 2019, in Hardtner, Kansas.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to the Hardtner Methodist Church, 205 W Main 67057.
