Lois Marie Dhyse, age 94, passed away peacefully at home with her children by her side, on Monday, November 3, 2025 leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and dedication.  Lois was born September 23, 1931, in Port Hope Michigan. She was the cherished daughter of Fred and Elsie (Brandenstein) Jahn.

Lois was baptized, confirmed, and later married at St. John's Lutheran Church in Port Hope.  A proud graduate of Port Hope High School, she married the love of her life, Arthur Dhyse, on November 7, 1953. Together, they built a life rooted in hard work and devotion, working side by side on their family farm. Arthur preceded her in death on April 6, 2011.

Lois is lovingly remembered by her children; Duane (Marcia) Dhyse, Randy (Mary) Dhyse, and Darrel (Darla) Dhyse, all of Kinde. She is also survived by her daughter-in-law, Karen (Dave) Maurer, formerly married to her late son Arvid Dhyse, of Harbor Beach.

She was also a treasured aunt, neighbor, and friend. She is leaving behind many who will miss her dearly.

Lois is also survived by her sister, Doris Pfaff of Ruth, and sisters-in-law: Shirley Jahn of Ruth, MaryAnn Jahn of Port Hope, Bernadine Black of Perry, and Lucille Emerick of Port Hope.

She was preceded in death by her son Arvid Dhyse; brothers Fred Jahn and Arthur Jahn ; brothers-in-law Earl Pfaff, Irvin Dhyse, and Delbert Emerick ; sisters-in-law Barbara Jo Dhyse Mahl and Ruth Dhyse.

Lois loved spending time with her family, being outdoors, tending to her garden, and preserving the harvest.  She especially enjoyed riding around the farm in her golf cart. Lois was actively involved in her community through various organizations, including North Huron FFA, serving as a Huron County 4-H leader for 14 years, actively participating in St. Peters Lutheran Church in many ways, volunteering for the American Cancer Society Women's Field Army, and working as an election inspector for Dwight Township.  She loved attending the sporting events of her sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also loved going for rides and taking in the beauty of the countryside, visiting with neighbors, and collecting and gifting cookbooks.

Her life was a testament to faith, family and service, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Funeral service for Lois will be held on Thursday November 6, 2025 at 12:00 noon, at St. Peters Lutheran Church of Kinde, with Pastor Kenneth Lueke officiating.
