She was born to Herman and Meta (Haussler) Stillman on March 27, 1924 in the newly built family home northwest of Arapahoe. She attended St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, northwest of Arapahoe, where she was baptized April 1, 1924, completed eight years of education in the parochial school and confirmed on May 31, 1936. Lois married Clarence Helms on February 16, 1944 at St. Matthew’s Church. After their marriage, she followed Clarence to Camp Pendleton, CA before his deployment to Germany during World War II. After the war, they moved to the farm north of Holbrook, NE, which they purchased, raised their four boys and lived on for 60 years. Lois and Clarence held their farm sale in September of 2005 and moved into Prairie Pines Independent Living Center in Arapahoe. They then moved into the Good Samaritan Home in 2011. Lois played the organ for over 50 combined years at St. Matthew’s and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Cambridge, NE. She also taught Sunday and Saturday School and was a faithful servant of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League. Lois supported her family in their farming and Polled Hereford business, was a longtime member of the Hereford Pollette Auxiliary. She also served many years with the VFW Auxiliary of Holbrook and the Holbrook Toastmaster’s Club. Her hobbies were quilting and embroidering and she gave many of her handmade masterpieces to others, including a quilt to every grandchild upon their high school graduation. She was well known for her homemade pies, especially sour cream raisin and angel food cake. Lois enjoyed baking and tending her flowers. Her greatest joy were her grandchildren. Lois was preceded in death by her parents, Herman and Meta (Haussler) Stillman; husband, Clarence; sisters, Adelia (Hollis) Clausen, Lillian (Henry) Helms, brother, Paul (Barbara) Stillman, and many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
