April 1, 2022, Lois Louise Lamielle McAtee, 76, was lovingly escorted in
to the presence of the Lord and is now awaiting her glorified body. The
two things she longed for most.
Born May 15, 1945 in Canton, Ohio to Evelyn E. (Paschen-Boekel) and
Basil Lamielle. Lois was the youngest of four siblings: Arlene, Butch, Bill
and Lois.
Lois was never handed an easy life and worked hard to provide for and
raise her three children, Kirk McAtee of New Philadelphia, Ohio, Patti
(Ken) Canter of Strasburg, Ohio, and Evy (Todd) Steele (with whom she
resided for the past 25 years) of New Philadelphia, Ohio.
Lois loved, adored, took great pride and great interest in her eight
grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren, Melissa (Todd)
McKenzie, Jovanni and Avery Waller. Jacob (Tasha), Brooklyn, Harper
and Sutton Albaugh. Morgan (Jerrin Brindley) McAtee. Meleah McAtee
and Zane Frantz. Alexandra (Tyler), Oakley, Bodee and Murphee Bailey.
Chase (Rachel) Steele. Rylie Steele. McCasland Steele. (She truly did love
all of you). Others who were very dear to Lois were cousins, Terry, Timmy and
Billie Jane; Bible Buddies, Jean, Mary, Sandy, and Wanda M.
Other dear friends include Donna, Ellie, Karen, Kathy, Lee Ellen and
Wanda S. Lois also has numerous nieces, nephews and other extended family
whom she also loved.
Lois never had worldly wealth or riches to give. What Lois was able to
give was a Godly example and a Godly foundation. That example and
foundation was not always appreciated when her children were
younger, but is greatly appreciated now. Her children were able to share
that fact with Lois recently. Lois made it known in nearly every
conversation that she was praying for her friends and family regularly.
To you grandchildren, if you wish to honor Grandma, live a goodly,
Godly life and pass her legacy on.
Lois was preceded in death by her biological father, her mother and
stepfather (Raymond F. Boekel), her siblings, her unborn grandchildren
including Journee Bailey and numerous friends and family with whom
she is surely rejoicing with today.
