Lois was united in marriage to Melvin "Mike" Jurries at  St. John's Lutheran Church in Depew, Iowa on August 19, 1951.  They made their home in Emmetsburg after Mike was discharged from the United States Army in 1952.

She and Mike enjoyed camping and fishing for many years.  Lois was very active in the Senior Citizen Center, serving on various boards and helping with Dinner Date.  Lois was a member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Emmetsburg.
