Lois Faye (Eason) Tolbert of Benton, AR made her peaceful transition from her earthly life to her eternal home in Heaven on April 20, 2024 after a lengthy illness. On February 18, 1935, in a rural community known as Cubie in Arkansas County, AR, John A. and Mary (Watkins) Eason brought Lois into the loving family of 13 other siblings. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Homer Tolbert; siblings; nieces and nephews.
On August 30, 1953, Lois married the love of her life, Homer Tolbert. She was a member of Temple Missionary Baptist Church of Benton. Lois loved the Lord, family and enjoyment of sewing. She opened her own alteration business and spent 40 years in Stuttgart and Benton doing alterations. Everyone who had the privilege to join her in her sewing room to get an alteration, also received a blessing of experiencing her laughter and a funny story she had to tell.
She leaves behind to share her memories and legacy to her daughter, Diane Tolbert of Benton, AR and her many nieces and nephews.

Many was the time I visited with Lois (and sometimes with Homer too) in that little shop beside her home, the little gas heater keeping things warm and cozy. But we didnt need it because Lois radiated enough love, kindness, and laughter to heat her corner of the room. I will always treasure those memories of her. Thinking of Diane and the rest of the family in the days ahead. May God bless you all.

Mama Lois was one of a kind. One of the funniest ladies I had to chance to grow up with. Spent many nights at her house when Diane and I were younger. Many many trips to the skating rink, where Mama Lois and Mr Homer would also take us and they enjoyed it as much as we did. So thankful for all the great memories made with this family. Sending hugs and prayers Diane.

Lois was one of the kindest women I’ve ever known but more than kind she was hilarious. Her funny stories could keep you in stitches for hours and she had a way of telling them that was made them all extra special. Diane hugs and prayers for you during this next season of life. You have gone the extra mile for your mom in making sure she was well cared for during her last years of her life. I know the reunion in heaven that has taken place has been glorious.
