Lois Jean Wynn, age 82, had the joy of being called home to Heaven to join our Lord and Savior on April 19, 2017.
Lois was born October 12, 1934, in Talmage, Kans., the daughter of James and Mary Luker. She graduated from Uniontown High School and then began work at the Western Insurance Co. in Fort Scott, Kans. This is when she met a very handsome young man named Don, who swept her off her feet. They fell in love and were married on September 19, 1954. Lois and Don had four children, two girls and two boys. She was a charter member of Faith church of Fort Scott, and she loved her church. She made sure that each of her children found a love for the Lord and she is happy because all of her kids, grandkids, and most of her great grandkids (babies excluded) know the Lord as their personal Savior. She taught kids in Sunday school, she worked with the youth and she loved teaching women’s bible studies. She also loved to read, Louis Lamoure being one of her favorite authors. She enjoyed the way he described the old west and made you feel like you were a part of it. She also enjoyed old and new quilts. She liked the hand-quilting style and the design they had. It was a joy to her when she would see one finished. She also had a real desire to find out about the old one-room school houses in Bourbon County. She would always talk with the old timers that were from the area and see where the school houses were and what they could tell her about them.
Survivors include her loving husband of 63 years, Don Wynn; her daughter Deborah Wynn, Mounds, Okla.; son and daughter in love Rick and Mary Wynn, Uniontown, Kans.; daughter and son in love Tina and Eromosele Aigbiremonlen of Mounds, Okla.; son and daughter in love Mark and Amy Wynn, College Station, Texas; seven grandchildren; seven great grandchildren; sisters Lucille Ward and Phyllis Randall and husband David; a brother Eldon Luker and wife Gloria; a sister-in-law Mary Lou Luker; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
