She married Jake White Bull, II and to this union, Sandi, Jake, and Carlene White Bull were born. She later met and married George Ferguson and to this union, Ava, Rose, Jeri, Connie, Jordis, Doreen, Billy, and Leslie were born.
Lois Ann passed away as a very Christian woman. She loved her church. We think that, that’s what kept us all strong as individuals and as a family. Lois Ann leaves us on the same day her daughter, Jeri, did 12 years earlier. We were told by her relatives in South Dakota that she sand and had a beautiful voice. She was loved by many people who she was known as a great, caring, nice lady who was friendly, kind, and very easy to visit with. She leaves a lot of wonderful memories for a lot of people she touched. Together again, singing this to our dad. Don’t be sad for me, my children, family and relatives, for I am happy again.
Lois was preceded in death by her husband, George Ferguson; daughter, Jeri Ferguson; siblings, Gene, Orville, Virgil, Phyliss, and Joyce; grandchildren, Lane, Kristen, Anthony, and Andrew Ferguson; great grandchildren, Johnessy Menz, Karsen and Asher Smith; and cousin, Bullhead and Kelly Crow Ghost.
Lois Ann is survived by children, Sandie (Vince), Jake (Beth), Carlene (Sudy), Ava (Wayne), Posie, Connie, Jordis, Doreen, Billy, Joanne, and Leslie (Faye); siblings, Mary (Frank), and Donnie (Jackie); grandchildren, Deacon, Adrian, Nikki, Troy, and Will; numerous grandchildren, and great grandchildren that she loved very much and they all cared and adored her back with all their hearts; first cousins, Iyonne Bears Ribs, Francine, Jeanine, Rose, Renae, Errol Crow Ghost, Mary Jane Tiokasin, and Helen Elkalkire; and the Pipe family, Ricker family, Boxer family, and Crow Ghost family.
