Lois N. Oelslager
The funeral service for Lois N. Oelslager will be at 11:00AM on Saturday, July 6, 2013 in River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home with Pastor Dale Depeel officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service. Burial will be at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Lois was carried in the arms of the angels to her Heavenly Father. Here she will unite with her husband Robert William. The two will join and become as one soul for all eternity. She was surrounded by her loving family when she passed.
She is survived by her children, Stephen, Richard (Susan), Daniel (Ginny), Laurie (Kelly), Joel “R.J.” (Ann); brother, Jim (Ellie) Nelson; sister, Donna (Bob) Hutchings; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her husband Robert and four brothers precede her in death.
Lois went by many names, wife, daughter, sister, mother, friend but none of these were greater than mother. She will be remembered for her courage, strength, wisdom, generosity, her love of butterflies and Louis L’Amour. The butterfly has flown home.
Memorials are preferred to the American Breast Cancer Foundation.

Condolences
The family of Lois N. Oelslager has received the following condolences.
Deepest sympathies. I remember we would often hangout with the Oelslager family, sort of like my adopted family. I also remember many combined family vacations often including various adventures.
Many Memories,
Rest in peace, Charlie Wees
When I think of Lois I remember her smile, Cub Foods and the puzzles in the newspaper. Twice a week we would go to Cub for groceries whether she needed them or not. She grew up in the depression and she always wanted to have enough on hand and boy did she! She got me hooked on the crossword puzzles, word jumbles and the crytoquotes. I am still doing them! She will forever have a special place in my heart.

So hard to lose a Mother.

We send our deepest sympathy and support to the Lois Oelslager family. We mourn with you and wish we could be there with you for the funeral. The happy memories number if the tens of thousands. Good choice of obituary lines, to mention the butterflies!
Eighty-eight years is a good number of years, but no matter the number it is never enough. Blessings and support are sent your way.
Extending my sincere condolences to the family. I grew up near your family and later worked with your Mom for many years. She was a wonderful person and heck of a good operator! She will be missed.
