Lois E. Smith
December 1, 1963 - November 19, 2021
Lois Elaine Smith, age 57, of Muskegon passed away on Friday November 19, 2021. Lois was born on December 1, 1963, in Lansing Michigan, where she was raised by her parents, Gordon Christian and Marilyn Strong. She was a graduate of Orchard View High School. On October 13, 1984, she married Steven Smith, and they spent 37 wonderful years together. Lois enjoyed being a homemaker, and her family greatly enjoyed her lasagna. Although she lived in Muskegon for most of her life, she was blessed to participate in a few Caribbean cruises as well as various trips to Las Vegas casinos. Lois was a free spirit who loved her family, which earned her the title of the “cool auntie” of the family. She enjoyed playing bingo and was a member of The Egelston Lions, but more than anything she loved her son, Jordan. Lois will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Steven; son, Jordan; brother, Tom Nowakowski; sister, Terri (Hugh) Goldsmith; four nieces: Jessica, Tomi, Rebecca, and Wendie; five great-nieces and great-nephews: Maelee, Isabell, Helea, Jerome, and Zoie; and uncle and aunt, Chuck and Diane Strong. Lois was preceded in death by her parents and her grandparents. Special thanks to Rebecca Stone, Tomi Barnes, and Cyndi Haverkamp for their supportive care for Lois over the past few years. Per Lois’ request, no public funeral will be taking place, but donations in her memory can be made out to The Mercy Health Johnson Family Cancer Center. Arrangements by The Lee Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 6291 Harvey St, Norton Shores, MI 49444.
