Lois Ann Fox, age 87, went to be with Jesus on December 23, 2025.

Lois was born on March 10, 1938, in Winona, Minnesota, to Christian and Alice Keller. She was the eldest of seven children. She attended Winona High School and later graduated from Winona State University with a Bachelor’s/Teaching degree. She taught in both Rochester and Robbinsdale, MN before she married and had two daughters and became a stay-at-home mom.

Lois enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Her most favorite moments were holiday gatherings with her family. Lois had a strong faith and enjoyed attending multiple bible study groups throughout the years. Her favorite part of worship was singing old Christian hymns.

During her later years, she enjoyed playing various games (cards, bingo, fast track, etc) with her many friends at Echo Ridge Senior Living in Oakdale, MN. She loved to bake and would often bring treats to share with the other residents. Most recently, she enjoyed her new grand-dog George who would come over and visit. She would hide Cheez-its around her apartment to see if he could find them all.

She is preceded in death by parents Christian and Alice Keller; siblings Loran, Ronald, David and Sharen; nephew Paul Keller and niece Ann Burtis. She is survived by daughters Lori Jirovec and Karen Fox; grandchildren Taylor (Darien) Benner and Samuel Jirovec; great grandchild Charlotte Benner; siblings Robert (Diane) Keller and Steven (Gloria) Keller. Also survived by sister-in-law Mary Keller; nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.
