Obituary of Lois Elaine Neville

Lois Elaine Neville

Born on July 7, 1925 and died on Sunday May 30, 2021, she was 95 years old.

Survived by her partner Fred Jacobsen, her Sister Lola Ouska and her husband Al Ouska, sons David, Mark, Matt and James Williams, their wives and grandchildren.

Some her favorite hobbies included Flying, Private Pilot, Member of the 99’s Women’s Flying Organization, Astronomer, supporter of Lowell Observatory, Snow Skiing and Hiking. She loved being outdoors and traveling the world.

She always had a positive attitude and outlook, looking on the bright side, and happy. She always had words of encouragement and praise for you, cheerful, a wonderful smile and full of laughter all the time. She inspired all those around her, that happiness is having gratitude for life’s journey; by loving us dearly and always savoring the never-ending simple treasures in nature…a sunrise and a sunset, a moon, a sky filled with stars or clouds; a stream to put your feet in.

Her pure unconditional love, joyful smile, unbounded enthusiasm, embrace of adventure and eternal optimism will live in our hearts forever.

Some favorite saying of hers:  Keep on Keepin-on.   You can always take it off but you can't put it on. Waste not want not. Youth is wasted on the young.  There are many paths to God.

One of her favorite poems:

I dwell in the

Mystery of the

Great unknown

Fluid, beautiful, and free.

I dance with the wind

And relish each breath

Ecstatic each day

Just to be.

I sing with the joy

Of the planets and stars,

I laugh with the waves

And the sea,

For I am the spirit

Forever unfolding

Unbounded, eternal

And Free.
