The farm was expanded to a herd of 79 Holstein cows. The milk was sold to Hood Dairy Products. The farm was family run. Every cow, pig, chicken, dog and cat was named and well cared for. Lois was also employed at Van Raltz Knitting, Arrow Shirt factory, Nathan Textiles, Burger King, Wilton Mall and Price Chopper Her talents included knitting, crocheting, needle point, sewing, quilting and crafts.
