Lois Theodoratus

Lois Theodoratus, 82 of Birdsview passed away on Wednesday December 7, 2016.  Lois was born on June 21, 1934 to John and Ruby Pinelli in Hamilton, Washington.  She was married to George Theodoratus in 1957 and they have lived in the same house since.

Lois worked at the Baker River Forest Service before opening a gift store called The Knothole in Concrete.  She also worked as the receptionist and bookkeeper at Valleys West Realty, the family business.  In later years George and Lois built and operated Concrete Self Storage.

Lois loved to travel and many vacations were spent with George on cruise ships around the world.  She was a confirmed shopaholic and enjoyed finding treasures and local art wherever she went.

Lois also enjoyed crafts including ceramics, bottle digging, painting, weaving, and in later years quilting with cousins Ann & Peggy.

Lois is survived by her husband, George Theodoratus of Birdsview and daughter, Lisa Theodoratus of Sausalito, California.

She is preceded in death by her parents John and Ruby Pinelli, and her sister Virginia Frieze.
