Lois Lott

1923 ~ 2013
Lois G. Lott of Salt Lake City passed away peacefully at home on July 11, 2013. She was 90 years of age. 
Lois was born June 18, 1923 in Lehi, Utah to Israel L. and Emma Brown Lott. Graduated from Lehi High School and attended the L.D.S. Business College. During World War II she worked at the Geneva Steel Plant in Provo, Utah. Later, was employed as a secretary at Salt Lake City Federal Reserve Bank, Traffic Manager at KLAS Radio in Las Vegas, Nevada and KDYL/KCPX Radio in Salt Lake City. She was then secretary to the manager of KABC Radio in Los Angeles, and after 25 years as a legal secretary, retired from the law firm of Goldman & Kagan, also in Los Angeles. She was an active member of the Westwood First Ward in Los Angeles.
When Lois retired from 25 years with the law firm, she didn't really retire. Instead, she moved to Salt Lake City and began a second career as a volunteer at the Division of State History/Utah State Historical Society. She spent five days a week at her desk there. In 2006, by then President Bush, her work earned her the prestigious President's Call To Service Lifetime Award, which is given to American citizens who have volunteered 4,000 hours or more over the course of a lifetime. She actually donated some 16,000 hours to Utah State History! She was also active in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and the Grandview First Ward.
Lois was preceded in death by her parents and four siblings, brother Wreal Lott, sisters Juliet Black, Marie Kleinman, and Marjorie Timpson. She is survived by nephews and nieces. 
We will certainly miss Lois' positive demeanor and infectious laugh/giggle.
Graveside Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, July 19th at the Lehi City Cemetery in Lehi, Utah. 
In lieu of flowers, Lois requested that contributions be made in her name to your favorite charity .
