She was born at home on Easter Sunday April 21st, 1935 in a major blizzard in Fort Collins, Colorado to Adam and Bertha Deines. She graduated a proud Fort Collins High School Lambkin in 1952, and went on to start her very successful career. Before graduating high school, she met and eventually married her greatest love, Vern Schilling, on July 15th, 1955. They welcomed their first daughter Denise in 1958 and their second daughter Debbie in 1961. Lois started her very successful career in the brokerage industry in 1952 with Don Chapin and Company. In 1969, she obtained her brokerage license with the New York Stock Exchange, and became one of the first female stock brokers in the state of Colorado. She was also heavily involved in the Soroptimist Club, but her involvement with Trinity Lutheran Church was her most treasured endeavor. She continued building her successful career, and in 2010 she teamed up with her daughter Debbie. They worked as a team until she retired in 2017.
