Lois Lenora Kimball was born on August 1, 1942, to the late Ralph (Brownie) and Lenora (Sundquist) Kimball of Robbinsdale, MN. In the year 1948, she and her sister Roseann were taken from the home due to neglect and abuse issues with their mother and were placed in foster care with Mr. and Mrs. A.A. Dahl of Edina. Lois attended Edina High School and especially enjoyed playing the French horn in band. One of the highlights of her youth was going with the school band to play in the Rose Bowl parade. In 1960 Lois married Donald P. Reimer of Plymouth, MN and they had 5 children together, Lori, Bob, Connie, Jodi and Wendi. After 11 years the marriage ended in divorce and Lois moved with the children to Brooklyn Park and worked as a waitress at the Red Lobster. She then married Richard Jendro of Robbinsdale. Together they had two sons, John and Justin. They divorced and Lois was then briefly married to Howie Blomberg of Little Falls, MN. Lois remained living in Little Falls, working as a waitress at the Falls Ballroom, and the Black and White café. She enjoyed living there and developed many close friendships with people in the area. Here she met Jim Jarvis, the “love of her life”. They enjoyed each other’s company, especially looking for agates, fishing and watching football together. Lois was an AVID Vikings fan. She also always loved country music, and to her, no one was as “country” as Alan Jackson! Lois's health began to deteriorate, and she developed COPD. This developed to the point that she was on Oxygen 24/7.
