Lois Irene Dykhoff was born April 29, 1928, at home in Clearwater, Minnesota to Henry and Dorothy (Sparks) Dykhoff. Lois grew up in Clearwater and Annandale, graduating from Annandale High School in 1946. On June 12, 1946, Lois was united in marriage to Lester Morris Howard in Annandale. They made their home on the Howard family farm in Albion Township, where they also raised their two children. In addition to dairy farming alongside Lester, Lois also worked at Wonderalls in Buffalo and provided housekeeping services for Wright County Human Services in Buffalo.

Lois loved to sew, whether it was clothing her kids while they were younger or making blankets for them to use later in life. She enjoyed tending to her flower and vegetable gardens as well. Lois's caring and selfless manner will fondly be remembered by those who loved her.

She is survived by her children, Allen Howard of Maple Lake and Diane (Don) Booth of Annandale. Lois was preceded in death by her parents, husband, an infant sibling, and a stepsister.

Arrangements are entrusted with Dingmann Funeral Care Burial and Cremation Services of Maple Lake.
