Lois Dyer, 89, of La Porte, Indiana, passed away Friday, November 20, 2020 at Brentwood Assisted Living in La Porte.

She was born February 15, 1931 in Hanna, Indiana, the daughter of Merl L. and Gladys (Cumerford) James.

A resident of Rolling Prairie since 1955, she moved to New Carlisle in 1995.  A member of the Wesleyan Church in New Carlisle, Lois was a homemaker and an Avon Representative, which she loved. She enjoyed traveling with the "Avon ladies", going to conventions and workshops to places like Branson, MO. Lois had a passion for making ceramics, which she gave to all of her children and grandchildren, but her greatest passion were her grandkids and great grandkids, who were the love of her life.  She had a porcelain doll collection, was a huge Cubs fan and NASCAR fan, especially Jeff Gordan and loved gardening.   She and her late husband spent many hours sitting together and watching the hummingbirds gather at their feeders in the backyard.

She is survived by her two sons, Richard (Kathleen) Dyer of New Carlisle, IN, Daniel (Debra) Dyer of La Porte, IN; daughter, Terry (Kevin) O'Neil of Rolling Prairie, IN; 7 grandchildren, Ken and Jeff Weir, Lisa Durham, Mikayla Golden, Justin Dyer, Brooke Dyer-Wolf, Christine Koster; 7 great grandchildren; and a host of extended family.
