Bio
Lois Scheinost, age 81 of Spencer, Nebraska passed peacefully in her home on Wednesday, December 27th, 2023. Lois requested cremation and a private family service to be held in the summer. Arrangements are entrusted to Biglin's Mortuary in Spencer. Lois Marie Strong was born on January 2nd, 1942 in O'Neill, NE. to William and Bernadine (Hauser) Strong. Lois spent her years growing up in O'Neill and summers spent in Derby KS with a very special Aunt and Uncle. After graduating from Derby HS Lois later moved back to Nebraska where she then met the love of her life, Garry Scheinost, of Spencer in 1960 marrying a year later on January 15th, 1961. Garry and Lois made their home in Spencer, where they raised three children. Lois was an active member of Our Saviors Lutheran Church, where she volunteered her time to help wherever needed. Lois and Garry owned and operated Scheinost Trucking for 40+ years until their retirement. In Lois' spare time, she enjoyed bowling, darts, golf, dancing, cooking up wonderful meals for family and friends, and traveling with Garry. Her Grandchildren and great grandchildren were her greatest joy and she made it a point and priority to travel and attend every event, whether it was a play, a concert, softball, baseball, basketball, track and/or volleyball games that they were active and participating in. It was a rare occasion for Lois to miss anything her family was involved in. She was known to her grands and great grands as "Grandma Lois," "G-MAMA LoLo," and most recently, "G.G." All names she would answer to with pride. Her passing will leave a great void in the lives of those who knew and loved her. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Bernadine, her brother Larry, sister Laveena (Robert Wheeler), Sister In Law, Connie Strong (Carlyle), and her husband, Garry. Surviving her are her children: Daughter, Tonya Petersen of Baltic, SD. Son Jay (Shelley) Scheinost of Tarpon Springs, FL. Daughter Kaci Classen (Kelly) of Spencer and Brother Carlyle (Bubs) of O'Neill and Sister Vickie Zeigler (John) of Pickstown, SD. Her 8 Grandchildren, Makaila Carlson, Bryce Petersen, Allison Scheinost, Alex Scheinost, Emily (Luke) Greene, Lance (Terra) Classen, Kelli (John) Waitkus, Amber (Mavrick) Hill, her 16 great grandchildren, her "Partner in Crime," Nancy Bowers, her beloved furry friend, Daisy Marie and many nieces and nephews.
