Copeland - Lois Jean Jobe, 83, died April 13, 2021 at Bethel Home in Montezuma. She was born on September 22, 1937 in El Dorado, the daughter of Lester and Johanna (Bruer) Hemphill.

Lois spent her childhood in Ulysses. She graduated from Grant County Rural High School in 1955. In 1966, Lois married Billy Jobe and they lived in Manter, later moving to Copeland. They celebrated 54 years of marriage this past September. Lois was a devoted wife and mother. She never missed a school activity or ballgame. During the busy harvest seasons, Lois would join Bill at the elevator and help by weighing trucks. She enjoyed her flower gardens, KU basketball, Budweiser in a can, and was an avid dog lover. If you were lucky enough to call Lois a friend or family, you were truly blessed.
