Lois M. Tyler-Wilcox

Lois M. Tyler-Wilcox, a pillar of strength and love for her family, entered into eternal life early in the morning on April 16, 2018, surrounded by her family. She was retired from AT&T (AIT). She worked there for many years to support her family, even on weekends and holidays. She also worked for the Waukesha County Mental Health Center and belonged to several organizations. Lois accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior when she was a young girl.

She was a longtime active member at Elmbrook Church. She also was a member of both the Senior Activities and Thursday & Friday Fellowship Prayer and Bible Study. Lois is survived by her beloved, cherished family.
