Lois Jean Lawson Westbrook

Lois Jean Lawson Westbrook, 64, was born in Eureka on June 13, 1953, and went to be with the Lord on Monday, October 30, 2017. Lois traveled to many areas during her younger years, and later made Yreka her permanent home in 1979. As a child, Lois’ nicknames were “Running Red” and “Little Lois.” In 2002, at the age of 49, Lois went back to school and received her diploma from Yreka High School/Adult School. Lois was a loving, caring, amazing mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, friend, and a child of God. Lois never met a stranger that she didn’t share her friend, Jesus, with. She enjoyed gardening, bingo, and crafts. More than anything, she was always sharing the Lord’s words of Faith. She lived each day as the gift it was to her. She looked forward to the day that she would get to go to her forever home in Heaven. Lois is survived by her husband, Curtis Westbrook; her son and daughter in law, Seth and Time Westbrook of Yreka; her daughters and son in laws, Curtessa (Michael) Martinez of Yreka, Monica (Joey) Wilkinson of Florence, MS, and Erin and Mike Niemeyer of Osage, IA.

She has one great grandson, Brody Pratt. She is also survived by her brothers, Lonnie (Aleli) Lawson of Eagle Point, OR, Wayne (Dotti) Lawson of Havest, AL, Kim (Rose) Lawson of Medford, OR, and sisters, Donna Addison of Eagle Point, OR, and Mona Thomas or Redding, CA.
