Lois J. Cross, 89, of Two Harbors, formerly of Cumberland, Maryland, died Wednesday, June 5, 2024 at The Waterview Shores in Two Harbors.
She was born on September 22, 1934 in Cumberland, Maryland to Russell and Nina (Devor) Leasure, the eldest of four children. Her sisters were Erma, Shirley, and JoAnn.

Lois loved Bingo, canning vegetables and fruit, and at one time liked NASCAR. She was also a member of the Living Waters Fellowship.
Preceding her in death were her parents; husband, Bob; and her son, Herbert.
