On October 1, 1955, Lois was united in marriage to Leroy “Corky” Polzin at Assumption Catholic Church in Eden Valley, Minnesota.  Lois and Leroy made their home in Brownton, Minnesota.  Their marriage was blessed with six children, Bruce, Douglas, Pamela, Patricia, Penny and Paige.  Lois and Leroy shared 56 years of marriage until Leroy passed away on March 20, 2012. 

In addition to being a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Lois worked at the Brownton Medical Clinic, was a bus chaperone for DAC and later cared for her grandchildren.  She was a faithful member of St. Boniface Catholic Church in Stewart, participating in the Council of Catholic Women.  After moving to Glencoe in 2012, she became a member of the Church of St. Pius X. 

Lois was always strong in her faith and a caring person.  She loved angels and had a beautiful collection which she treasured.  Lois enjoyed reading, baking for her family, bowling, playing piano, jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, word finds, and playing games which included marbles, 500, pinochle, UNO, Yahtzee and bingo.  She also enjoyed watching the Minnesota Twins and comedy shows that included Carol Burnett, Golden Girls, Mr. Bean, and Benny Hill.
