Lois Helen McLendon

of North Little Rock, AR

January 9, 1920 - October 14, 2014

Lois Helen McLendon, 94, of North Little Rock, passed away on Tuesday, October 14, 2014. She was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel Gregory Hinton and Laura Emma Mathews Hinton; her beloved husband of 54 years, Herrel Lowe McLendon; her sister, Evelyn Hinton; her half-brother, Floyd Herman Hinton; and her son-in-law, Jeffrey Lynn Myers.
Born in El Paso, Texas, on January 9, 1920, Lois grew up in Van Buren, Arkansas, and graduated from Van Buren High School, Class of '38. she was a bookkeeper at the Arcade Furniture Store ''on the avenue'' in Fort Smith until she retired in 1970 to move with Herrel to North Little Rock, where he worked as a crane operator for Missouri Pacific Railroad. They became members of Levy United Methodist Church.
Lois loved watching the St. Louis Cardinals, quilting with dear friends at church, knitting, reading and especially spending time with her family and precious grandchildren. Since Lois stayed up late, it was not unusual for a grandchild to call her late at night or to even come by for a visit-a special treat for her. Lois was a mainstay in family activities, especially on Christmas Day, when posing for pictures of the four generations was standard practice before opening presents. She enjoyed her nightly phone calls from Karen. She looked forward to seeing the latest pictures of her grandchildren and greats. The recent back-to-school pictures of Dylan, Morgan, and Liam brought exclamations of joy from Lois. She marveled that Morgan and Emma had already begun sewing lessons and that baby Sam had just started walking. But it was the antics of her 6-month grand cat Max that evoked lots of laughter and head-shaking!
She is survived by three children: Phillip Lowe McLendon and wife Pam of Carpinteria, CA; Michael Gregory McLendon and wife Joanne, of Little Rock; and Karen Lynn Myers, of Fayetteville; four grandchildren: Stewart Gregory McLendon of Little Rock; Erin McLendon Skrodenis and husband Brent, of Little Rock; Aaron Lowe McLendon and wife Angel, of Los Angeles, CA; and Laura Patricia McLendon, of San Francisco, CA; five great-grandchildren: Dylan Gregory, Morgan Olivia, and Liam Henry Penick McLendon; Emma Claire and Samuel Joseph Skrodenis. And grand cat Max!
A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m., Friday, October 17, 2014, at Edgewood Memorial Park, North Little Rock, AR. Arrangements made by Roller-Owens Funeral Home (501-791-7400).
