Lois Lancaster

Edna Lois Lancaster age 89, entered eternal rest on April 18, 2024 and is awaiting the return of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Lois was born in Brinegar, Kentucky on April 2, 1935. Her family moved to Morehead, Kentucky and Lois graduated from Breckinridge Training school in 1952. Lois married her high school sweetheart in 1952. They moved to Crestview, Florida in 1963. Harold and Lois celebrated 50 years together before his passing in 2003.

Lois worked at the First National Bank of Crestview, before moving to The First Federal Savings and Loan of DeFuniak Springs Fl. While at First Federal, Lois was instrumental in assisting with financing for some of the early beach developments in Seaside and surrounding areas. Lois retired as vice president from First Federal and opened a Mortgage Company in Crestview, Florida to help people achieve their dream of home ownership. Her mortgage company, Lancaster Mortgage, was one of the first independent mortgage companies in the county with female ownership. Besides maintaining her home, family and business Lois was a devout Christian and would proclaim God’s goodness and grace always!

Whether by words or music!

Lois was a singer/songwriter and you could often find her and Harold playing down at Mac’s local Barbershop or many other venues in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs and throughout the panhandle.

We all will miss our mother,

our grandmother,

our great grandmother,

Our Aunt,

our friend…

We will miss her unending, bountiful kindness.

And into God’s hands, we commend her spirit.

In lieu of flowers and in remembrance of Lois, do someone an unexpected kindness today.
