Lois (Myers) Blosser Obituary (1952

Lois Y. (Myers) Blosser, 64, of Bridgewater, VA, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 7, 2017 at her home surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on October 9, 1952 in Sellersville, PA and was the daughter of the late Walter H. and the late Edna B. (Young) Myers. Prior to retiring she was employed by Panera Bread in Harrisonburg, VA. Before moving to Rockingham County in 2011 she worked at Pleasers Restaurant in Hickory, NC. Lois enjoyed being a wife, mother, aunt and especially grandmother to her two grandsons. She relished the many hard-fought Trouble board game tournaments with Dylan and Simon. While living in Pennsylvania and in North Carolina she was instrumental in starting and running children's clubs in the various churches she attended. She enjoyed cooking and helped in those church's kitchens. Her friends and family will remember her quick wit and sarcasm. Once, while joking around, she claimed to be the "pretty sister" of the three Myers girls--and never heard the end of it. She is survived by her husband of almost 45 years, James DeWitt Blosser, II; a son, Jeremy Allen Blosser and wife Trisha Ranae (Maust) of Harrisonburg; a daughter Jessica Lin (Blosser) Septon of Ogden, UT; two grandsons, Dylan James Blosser and Simon Jacob Blosser; four brothers, Paul Y.

Myers, Jr and wife Pat of Hatfield, PA; a brother-in-law James Alderfer and wife Dorothea of Troy Hills, NJ; one sister, Ruth Ann (Myers) Davis and husband Richard of Allentown, PA; a sister-in-law, Darlene (Moyer) Myers of Souderton, PA; a brother-in-law, Gary S. Blosser and wife Judy of Blandon, PA; a sister-in-law, Brenda K. (Blosser) Hendricks and husband Fran of Telford, PA; 17 nieces and nephews; numerous great-nieces and great-nephews; and her father-in-law, James D. Blosser, Sr. of Telford, PA.
