Services will be held on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at St. Sabina Catholic Church, 700 Trevis Ave., Belton, Missouri 64012. Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m. followed by a Mass of Christian burial at 12:00 p.m. Lois will then be laid to rest at Belton Cemetery.
Lois was born in Rich Hill, Missouri on December 26, 1931 to Elton and Frankie (Frederick) Miller. In the summer of 1952, Lois was joined in marriage with her late husband Patrick “Pat” Charles Simpson on July 4th. Their union was blessed with six children. For much of her life, Lois worked from home caring for her family. It’s impossible to imagine how many meals she prepared, loads of laundry she washed and runny noses she wiped! Lois rarely missed an event that involved her children as they grew. Sporting events, school functions, activities at church and so much more. As a long-time resident of Belton, she enjoyed many relationships with those who surrounded her life. One such group of friends included ladies who drove the Belton school busses once their children were of age. Lois and Pat were faithful parishioners of St. Sabina Catholic Church in Belton.
Lois was preceded in death by her parents, Elton and Frankie Miller; husband of sixty-two years, Patrick Charles Simpson; and siblings, Donald Miller, Bob Miller, Ruth Beatty, Hope Koenig, Jean Thomas, and Margaret Garrett.
She is survived by her six loving children, Patrick Simpson, David Simpson (Sandy), Linda Beard (Andy), Jim Simpson (Robin), Mary Hickman (David), and Nancy Gillaspy (Gregg); brother, Jack Miller (Joan); sister, Sharon Kellogg; sixteen grandchildren; and twenty-one great-grandchildren.
