After that she worked for 15 years as a fiberglass form finisher for the Farm All Corp. in Knoxville and retired from there in 1987. Lossie enjoyed painting, pictures, sewing, rearranging the furniture, and helping others. She was a loving and caring mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and a friend to many.
