Lois was born on June 18, 1938, in Ogden, Utah, to Walter Hawkins and Nellie DeGroot Hawkins. She spent her childhood in Ogden where she was raised by her loving parents and cherished countless hours with her grandparents, whom she adored. She graduated from Ogden High School, proudly carrying the title of an Ogden Tiger throughout her life.

As a junior in high school, Lois married the love of her life, Darrell Grose. Together they began a beautiful journey that would span decades, built on love, faith, friendship, and family. Their son Scott was born in 1958 while they lived in Ogden. Later, Lois and Darrell were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple May 24, 1968, a sacred blessing that remained at the center of their lives.

As a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Lois served diligently in many callings throughout her life. She was known as a compassionate ministering sister who quietly cared for others. Her testimony never wavered, and her faith remained strong until the very end. She found great comfort in the gospel and took joy in living a life devoted to her Savior.

Lois is survived by her beloved fur babies, Roxy and Nellie; her loving children, Scott (Jill) Grose, Brian (Danelle) Grose, and LoriAnn (Jim) Hale; her brother Richard “Dick” Hawkins; 10 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandson. Her posterity was her greatest treasure and her proudest accomplishment.

She was preceded in death by her eternal companion and beloved husband, Darrell Grose; granddaughter April Marie Grose; her parents, Walter and Nellie Hawkins; her brother Darold Hawkins; and her cherished fur babies Chloe and Sammy.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the caregivers and friends who brought comfort and companionship to Lois during her final days, including the staff at Fairfield Rehabilitation, Symbii Hospice, Memorial Mortuaries (Eric Moyes) and the many family members and friends who took time to visit. Your kindness helped her feel deeply loved and supported.
