Lois Joanne Scott Walter

Lois Joanne Scott Walter, long-time resident of Washington, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 17, 2022. She was born December 4, 1931 to Harry Scott and Elizabeth Ellen (Jones) Scott in Arcadia, Kansas.  Lois worked as a Bell Telephone Operator, and later worked for the Observer Reporter until her retirement.  She was an active member of the Faith United Presbyterian Church, where she once served in the choir.  Lois was a kind and fun-loving person.  She liked Elvis, she liked to dance, and she loved a good joke.  Lois was good at cards and didn’t put up with any rule breaking.  She always looked amazing and dressed impeccably.  Lois was the 1949 Trinity High School May Queen, and Miss Amherst Connecticut, 1947. Her true beauty came from within, and her greatest love was for her family.

In 1949 Lois graduated from Trinity High School.  That is where she met her husband, James Frederick “Fred” Walter.  They were married in 1951, she was 19 and he was 21.  They had a full and loving life together until his passing in 1988.

Surviving are her four children, Gregory S. Walter (Laura) of Fenelton PA, Mark F. Walter (Linda) of Livingston TX, Joanne B. Walter Warco (Kevin) of Lewes DE and Janet L. Walter Morris (Scot) of Richmond VA; grandchildren, Shannon Warco Garrett (Lee), Gregory S. Walter II (Kristi), Alyssa Warco Carver (Steven), Emma Walter Gielata (Michael), Paige Walter Pavelchick (Adam), Spencer Morris Young (Austin), and Camryn Morris; great-grandchildren, Gray, Benjamin and William Garrett, Cameron and Miles Carver, Gregory S. Walter III, and Reese Gielata. 

In addition to her parents and husband she was preceded in death by her brother, William “Bill” Dean Scott.

Lois will be greatly missed by her family, neighbors, and long-time friends. 

No longer by my side, but always in my heart….
