YOUNGSTOWN -- Mrs. Lois Hazel Powell, 76, of Youngstown, entered eternal rest on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, at her home, with her loving family by her side.
Mrs. Powell was born Sept. 28, 1944, in Little Rock, Ark., a daughter of Isadore and Hester Wright Lindsey.
She was a 1962 graduate of South High School and received her bachelor's degree in nutrition from Youngstown State University in 1987. Lois had worked a short period with Delphi Packard Electric, but her passion was making a lovely home for her family.
She was a member of Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church, where she was water baptized Oct. 1, 1972. She served on the Bereavement Committee, in the Nurses Guild, was a VBS teacher and was considered a walking nutritionist in the church. She enjoyed communicating with others, traveling and held a special place in her heart for her furry friends -- Chase, Rico and Fancy.
Lois leaves to mourn her passing, but to celebrate her eternal peace, her husband, Charles Jr., whom she married Aug. 4, 1962; her mother, Hester Lindsey; her three devoted children, Charles III, Kimberly and Dawn Powell, who were part of her caregiving team; four grandchildren, Tiffany Lane of Dallas, Texas, Gerald Morgan of Dayton, Jasmine Powell of Youngstown and Courtney Powell of Houston, Texas; a lone great-granddaughter, Cayah Rae Godfrey; six siblings, Melvin (Bonnie Wright) of Denver, Colo., Barbara Lindsey (James Worthy) of Powder Springs, Ga., Denise Marrow of Detroit, Mich., Henry Lindsey, Shirley Carson and Janice Lindsey (Mario Townsend), all of Youngstown; and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
