Lois Ann Deem was born the last child to Edgar (Bub) and Alta whom all called Altie. She had 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Darrell and Vivian preceded her in death. She graduated from Middletown High School, worked for Lee’s Famous Recipe Fried Chicken as a teenager, then as a counselor for CETA, and later as a personnel director for US Cargo. She had cancer as a young adult and obtained Hepatitis C from blood transfusions which after 20 or so years reared it’s head as a venomous snake to zap her life.

She was the baby of the family and remained the baby of the family till the day she departed, preceded in death only two weeks by the oldest in the family, also a sister, Vivian. That leaves only me as a sister, so now I have to be your favorite whether you like it or not. She endured the loss of her father while still a child and with love and devotion cared for our mother till she died. About this same time, Lois also became ill.

That is the brief statistics of her life, but packed between the facts is a human being that anyone with any contact with her will not readily forget.

At our house, we have put away the medicine bottles by her bed, we have washed the dirty clothes she left behind, We will sort through the many pictures for which she had become the caregiver. With the family as she had so often wanted to do but never found the energy. We will clean out the belongings she left behind, find homes for Breezy and “Little Girl Cat“, but we will never put her out of our memories and our hearts.

We want to stand by the door, as Alex did so many times, and say, “ Lois, I don’t want you to leave, Lois I don’t want you to go home, Lois, I want you to stay with me.” Jabo, Donald, Lisa, Billy and I sat through that terrible night and just couldn’t bring ourselves to say stop doing everything to keep her with us. Like always she did not want to go. God finally said, the party’s over, it’s time for Lois to go home with ME.

Lois was many things, caring, impetuous, vivacious and totally extroverted. If she was around you knew it. Even as a little child, she was always running and full of energy and hard to keep up with. She lived her life fast, perhaps knowing it would end before it should.

Her friends were many, she held them dear and many were friendships which she carried since being a teenager. She was the reason you wanted to be around when she was there and she could also be the reason to make you wished you were an only child. She was the first to tell you what she thought and the first to tell you to keep your opinions to yourself if she did not agree with you.

She loved nature. She had to hug the trees on the vacation she and I took to California while I laughed at her. She loved animals. She was always the one to drag home strays. She loved to travel and take cruises. She loved to party and was the first to arrive and the last to leave. She liked to be the center of attention and the one to always put sadness on the back burner so all around her could laugh.

Lois loved children. When children were around her, they knew they were important for she exalted them. Deprived of a child of her own, her nieces and nephews were her children by proxy. During the last years of her life, her great nephew Alex, became the child nearest to her heart. She cared for him from infancy till the end. They had a special bond and the last concern she had was that he not worry about her and she said to him, “Aunt Lois is really sick, but I’ll be better and I’ll be home in a couple of days, so don’t worry about me.” Those were the last words she said to anyone. She is home now .

She could never be mean to a child. She could tell an adult what she thought of them and you had no doubt when she was upset with you. But with a child, she always showed patience and grace and was their playmate. That she requested the song, “Teach Your Children Well” at her funeral embellishes the priority she placed on children and how she valued them. She understood the circle of the old and young and valued the significance the song addressed.

Who was our sister Lois? She was many things. The first to visit in the hospital. The first to give you what she had. She gave her last fifty dollars to Vivian’s children to help when she passed away. She seemed happy and carefree on the surface while searching for a happiness that always seemed just ahead for her. She worried about the people she owed money to. And May 1st, she would have received her social security and repaid the debts that had troubled her so the last few years.

Perhaps only those closest to her the last couple of years knew how ill she really was for she hid it well. She did not ask for nor did she want pity but she loved attention and was pleased with the smallest of gifts - a candle, a new shirt, PJ’s, a happy meal toy from Alex, a shopping spree at Goodwill, Salvation Army or Kohl’s, it didn’t matter.

Lois loved her family, she loved her friends, she loved all children, she loved nature and animals. She loved fun and happiness and living life fully. Often, before her illness, I thought many times TOO fully, but in her 57 years she packed in many memories that those she leaves behind will remember.


Who was our sister? She was Lois. There was never another like her and there will never be anyone to replace her.

So, here today, Lois, we tell you goodbye. We didn’t want you to go. Jabo brought you ginger ale and ice the day you went to the hospital and sat with you. Kelly asked about you every day. Donald sat with Jabo and I as we waited for what we prayed would not happen. Georgina stopped by even though exhausted from being with Kelly. Lisa begged you not to go. My minister friend, Linda, came in the middle of the night to pray for the miracle we wanted, but it was time for you to go home.

So as your family and friends say goodbye to you, we know you have been saying hello to Grandma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad, Jack and Vivian, Darrell, Jackie, Murt, Jay and Shane, Irene, Albert, Alma, Ned and Betty, Laura, Ralph, Virginia and all the others there to welcome you. Tell them we miss you all, none is forgotten and to wait for us.

bullet Vivian Alice Deem was born on 16 Nov 1936. She was ill with High Blood Pressure & Artery Blockage in Her Legs in 2002. She died on 31 Mar 2007 in Middletown Regional Hospital. She was a State Tested Nurses Aid in Middletown Hospital, Willow Knoll Nursing Center, Colonial Manor, Hunington Court. -------

Vivian worked at the Middletown Hospital for years. I am not sure of the dates but I was a little kid when she was working there.She worked Nights mostly from what I remember.
I remember her dragging me outta bed to take me to my sisters house and I would get in the back seat of the car and wrap up with a blanket till we got home after she would pick me up.
She worked there for a long time till they wanted to start changing shifts and positions. I remember they wanted to transfer her to house keeping. She would have none of that so she quit and started working at a place called Willow Knoll Nursing home. She really loved working there and loved the people there.
I believe that at Willow Knoll is where she discovered she like taking care of the elderly.
She really cared about the patients she took care of and I can remember more that once when she cried cause one of them passed away.
She was there for about 7-10 yrs.
After that she went to a place called Colonial Manor around 1987-1990 and was there for about 4 yrs or so when they asked her to transfer to Sunnybrook Nursing home in Hamilton, Ohio.
She was there up until about 3 months before she passed away. The place was sold in ? 2000 ? and was renamed Hunington Court. There she made friends and relationships that stuck with her for the rest of her life.
She was there till late 2006 her illnes is the only reason she left.
She loved going to work and taking care of others. One reason was just to get outta the house. Another was that she just felt right taking care of people that needed help.
I personally knew many that she worked with and I will tell you that the patients where ever she worked at, lost much more than an aid the day she left. There are not many - - As she called them - - "Snot nosed little aids" - - That cared as much as she did about the patients.--------Jack Arrowood 04-26-2007----------

Vivian was a good person. She had a kind heart and loved her family.
As with the rest of the Deems she could be very difficult and stubron.
She lived for the days that she spent with her brothers and sisters although that was not many at the end. But she cherished everyone of them.
She loved to go to weddings especially outdoor weddings. She said they always seemed happier outside. She loved to see the pretty dresses and all the pretty flowers (although she was not a big fan of flowers).
She was energetic and very outgoing. Even at the end of her life as sick as she was. I will never forget all the times that she would get me outta bed at 2 in the morning and get me to take her to Meijers...She really would not buy anything...we would just walk around and look at stuff.
All through her life she was very happy and liked to be busy. She could not wait for the next family reunion or the next Birthday Party. She wanted to go to them all. She would always feel bad if she couldn't get a gift but she was there and wouldn't miss it for the world.
She was the type of person that would give you the shirt off her back if you really needed it. She was strong willed to say the least and didn't have a problem with telling you how she felt about something. When your heart broke so did hers and when you smiled she would also.
She loved her 2 children as children have never been loved. She would do anything for us and did. She was set in her ways and sometimes we didn't get along. It was hard to see eye to eye with her at times cause she was unbending in her ways.
The last 6 years of her life were lived for her grand children, Madison and Courtney. She came to believe that Elzibeth was not thier mother, she was. Some people in the family had some negitive comments about that....But they didn't live here and did not know the whole story. That's ok though cause Vivian did not care what they thought. she loved all her grand children and great grand children...But those 2 were set up above the rest. And if you can read this mom.....They miss you....you were to them what they were to you and I will make sure that they will NEVER forget you. as will any of us. and Madison says that your not sick anymore and can watch her from heaven now when she rides Top Gun.------Jack Arrowood-----04-26-2007 Parents: Edgar Harris Deem and Alta Marie Walters.

She was married to Jack Arrowood on 11 Jun 1955. Children were: Linda Kay Arrowood, Jack Mitchell Arrowood.
