Obituary: Lois Jean Fredregill Knowles passed into the arms of Jesus on , 10th at her home in Urbandale.

A private home visitation will be followed by a private graveside service on , 12th at 11:30 a.m. A public celebration of Lois's life is tentatively scheduled to be held , 30th at the Ralph Witten Shelter at Lion's Park, 72nd and Aurora, Urbandale. This celebratory get-together, complete with light refreshments, will be from 6-8 p.m. with a brief memorial service formally conducted at 7 p.m.

Lois was born 2nd, 1927 just a few minutes after her twin sister, Doris. Both girls were welcomed into the home of their parents Fred and Emma Millard. With the birth of her baby sister a few years later, Lois was part of a family of 12 with her parents, 6 sisters and 3 brothers. Her parents and her siblings LaVon, Ruth, Thelma, Virg, Verl, Gib, and Eva preceded her in death. Her sister Florence and twin sister Doris survive. Lois and her twin Doris maintained a close relationship throughout life.

Lois married Robert (Bob) Neal Fredregill on , 2nd, 1950. Their marriage was blessed with the addition of six children: Christine Jean (Fredregill) Lyon, Lois Roberta (Fredregill) Norder, Janet Mae (Fredregill) Frost, Linda Dorene (Fredregill) Louie, Robert Millard Fredregill, and Raymond Harry Fredregill. All Lois's children survive as well as 19 biological grandchildren, 2 step-grandchildren, 25 biological great grandchildren, 12 step great-grandchildren, one great-great grandchild, and five step great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by two grandchildren: Matthew Neal Wicker and Timothy Christian Louie. In addition, she considered Kelly Rowles to be one of her sons, and Kelly added a wife and three children to Lois's family.

Lois and Bob were married nearly 34 years before he passed away in 1984. had years of beautiful memories together and Lois would always passionately recall their life together. Of particular joy to Lois was the home she and Bob began to build together in Urbandale. Together, they took the burned out shell of a house and began to transform it into a home. As the home was not finished when Bob passed away, Lois put a lot of her time, effort and interest into finishing the home and even adding more improvements. She loved her beautiful red home.

In 1995, Lois was united in marriage with Kenneth Norman Knowles. Through the marriage, Lois added three stepchildren and one more grandchild. Lois and Ken spent several years traveling to visit relatives and visit different states, but always returning to Lois's beautiful home. Her husband, his children and grandchild survive.

Lois worked prior to and throughout her marriages. She worked for several companies including Younker's Tea Room, Firestone Tire and Rubber (secretary), Look Magazine (secretary), Gibbs-Cook (lab technician), and most recently Drake University where she was the secretary to the dean of the journalism department.

While Lois was a woman who truly enjoyed life and her family, her greatest joy was in her relationship with Jesus Christ. She was faithful in seeking God's will for her life, she loved singing His praises, and her heart grieved for those who wander through life without God's guiding hand and without knowing the love of Jesus. Her greatest desires always centered around her loved ones coming to accept Jesus as their Savior. She would pray for that consistently and ask her children to pray for others also.

Lois will be sadly missed by many, no more so than her children. Yet each of them will always be able to remember her zest for life, her determination, her ability to forgive, her warmth, her sense of humor, and her beauty. She leaves behind a beautiful legacy.
