We loved having her come to the farm at Christmas and sharing her stories with us. Lois will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Mary and family,
I am so very sorry to read of your loss! I have so many fond memories of the two of you coming in to Curves. We had wonderful conversation and a lot of laughs.
May she fly like an Angel and watch over all of you from above.
Charlie and Family,
We are so saddened to learn of the passing of Lois. I have fond memories of carpooling to Nursery School at St. Agnes with our sons. When we would see each other in Wegmans we would always chat about our kids. Such a wonderful person! She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out for all of you.
Aunt Ida and cousins
I’m so sorry to learn of Lois passing. We had such fun as kids. My prayers to you all.
Although I didn’t know Lois personally I loved seeing her at Wegmans. She was always helpful to customers including myself even if she was busy.
My deepest sympathy to her family.

Dear Charlie,
I was shocked and saddened to read today of Lois’s passing. It has been many years since we seen each other, but I will always remember her in our youth when we worked together at Cartwright Inn in the late 1970s. Her sense of humor always made going to work fun. Please extend my condolences to her mother, Ida, and her sisters that also worked with us.
I did not know Lois personally but she made my many trips to Geneseo Wegmans a delight. Sending condolences to her family.
Sending our sincere condolences to Sam and the entire Cicero Family.
Lois was always so good to my parents at Wegmans. After my Dad passed away she had some nice stories to tell us. My granddaughter was always so excited to see her, she would say “Mimi, Lois is here, Lois is here”. She has been missed. I’m glad she passed peacefully at home with her family, she was truly a special person. May God bless her and her family.
Charlie and Cicero Family, my condolences, love and prayer to you all.
That’s the perfect picture of Lois! That’s how I always remembered her working at Wegmans front end for all our years together! Her smile, That laugh, a joke, an oh Lenny! Always knowing how to respond to the need of a customer, or request of a co-worker. Not Goodbye Lois , but see you later. For those of the Lord never die, but return to God who is the giver of life… (See John 11:26)
We are sending love and prayers to Charlie and his family during this difficult time. We know you will find peace in the wonderful memories that you have of her…..
What Wonderful Memories we Have of Lois who Always put a Smile on the Faces of all of us here at Tangles. We Hold All of You, Charlie, Charles, Mary and Sam Close in our Hearts. We Will Join You in Missing Her and Celebrating Lois stories for years to come. Fly High Sweet Lady You Will Be Missed!
Much Love, Lynn, Melissa, Diane, Karen Samantha and Sam
My heartfelt sympathy to the Cicero family. I will never forget all the fun times we had working together at the Wegmans Deli. She made working fun. Then, she invited me to stop at her house for a snack on Christmas Eve. That snack turned out to be more food than I have ever see. It kept coming and coming. Her suffering is over and she is with her God whom she so dearly loved. God Bless you all.
Charlie- my deepest sympathy in your loss of Lois. She was your sweetheart.We will always remember her laughter. God Bless you and your family at this time. Your strong faith will get you through this……Love, cousin Frank Cicero
May the memories she gave to you give you strength. I am sending my thoughts and prayers to your family. I loved her smile and she always asked how me and my family were doing. Robin Frew and family

We absolutely adored her at the bank. She was always a ray of sunshine and positivity whenever she came in! I loved seeing her at Wegmans and every time I had my kids she would stop and talk to them and genuinely ask how you were doing and how the kids were. She was a beautiful and pure soul that everyone will miss. Sending so much love to your family.
I will never forget Lois’ kindness. She had an uncanny way of knowing when someone needed her. I admire her, I miss her, and my heart goes out to her family. Every time I see Snoopy and the Peanut’s gang I will think of her fondly with a smile. Love you, my friend.
I’m so sorry to see this. I always seen her at Wegmans always helpful in anyway cashing you out so there isn’t much of a wait! Thinking of you Charles, Sam and Mary
