Obituary: Lois Evelyn Sumruld peacefully passed away on January 8, 2021 with her family by her side. Lois was born in Ava Missouri on August 13, 1937 to George and Gladys Walker. Her childhood and young adult life was spent in Ava, Missouri. In 1957 she moved to California with her than husband Bob Smith (deceased) to start a family business and her life in Exeter. Lois worked with Continental telephone services in Exeter for 28 years and retired in 1987. The telephone company provided her with her “work” family and she remained close to all of her co-worker’s by organizing luncheons throughout the years. She then began the 2nd part of her career which was volunteering. She was a compassionate spirit whose passion was caring for others. She served as President and volunteer for over 18 years with the Exeter Community Service Guild (Pink Ladies). Volunteering each week at the Pink Ladies Thrift store she instantly made friends with anyone who visited the store. She was a life- long charter member of the Exeter Eagles Auxiliary for over 27 years and served at Auxiliary President and participated in many fund raising events to support local charities. She came out of retirement to work at The Younger Set and Exeter Mercantile Store. Lois met and married the love of her life RL Sumruld in August of 1985. Their 35 years of marriage gave our family and friends years of joy and laughter. They enjoyed spending time at their vacation home in Cayucos. They visited all the antiques and thrift stores along the California coast in her search of that rare item. She and her husband volunteered for many years at the annual The World Ag Expo in Tulare.
