Lois Ann
Martin
November 21, 1929 – September 6, 2019
Our beloved mother passed away September 6, 2019 in Spokane, WA surrounded by her family. She was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to all. Born on November 21, 1929 in Butte, MT to Tim and Josephine Harrington, Lois was the third of six children. She had many fond memories of East Butte, growing up on 120 Cherry Street, attending Holy Savior grade school and Butte High School. Lois worked at Metals Bank for several years until she met the love of her life, Tom, a recently discharged Marine and aspiring Mining Engineer at Montana Tech. They were married on December 10, 1955 in Butte and were blessed a few years later with their daughters Jill and Meg. Tom and Lois moved to Deer Lodge, MT in 1961 where they had their third child, Tom. In 1965 they settled in Spokane where Tim was born. Tom and Lois called North Spokane home for the next 50 years. Lois was an active member of Assumption Catholic Church and was known to throw a few strikes at Lilac Lanes or swing a club at her home course, Sundance. She had a passion for sports and hardly ever missed a game involving her children or grandchildren. Lois returned to work when her children entered high school. She worked at Metropolitan Insurance Company and Grange Insurance. Tom and Lois retired in 1992. Their lives were filled with travel to Europe, South Bend to see their favorite Irish play football, and endless treks across the mountains to visit family. They continued to enjoy the endeavors of their seven grandchildren, all of whom hold treasured memories of their Grammy. Lois enjoyed every day of her life and had unwavering faith. She constantly went out of her way to make you feel special. She accepted and loved you for who you were, and her smile and laughter will forever be in our hearts. Lois is survived by her husband Tom, siblings Dorene Shaul, Mick Harrington and Bob Harrington, her children Meg (Steve), Tom (Ann) and Tim (Mary), her grandchildren Dan (Lindsey), Molly (Bobby), Tara (Johnny), Claire, Jack, Matthew and Michael, her great grandchildren Conor, Josie and Emma and numerous loving nieces and nephews.
