Lois A. Bimson, age 71, of East Village Road, passed away at the Pines
Health & Rehabilitation Center in Lyndonville Sunday afternoon, October 9, 2016,
following a long struggle with Alzheimer's.
Lois was born in Quincy, MA, on March 15, 1945, daughter to the late
Alfred and Alice Cobb. Her family moved to St. Johnsbury in mid-1950's
and she went on to graduate from St. Johnsbury Academy in the Class of 1963.
Lois began working as a secretary at Fairbank's Scales out of the
Academy and married Ross Bimson on July 1, 1967. She continued
working until their daughter, Barb, was born. In 1984 she resumed a
secretary position, but this time, in the business office of the Academy and
continued there until retiring in 2011 after 27 years. Lois and Ross did
some travelling to Florida, Alaska, Las Vegas and many individual trips to
Maine throughout each year, and over the years Lois was heavy into
crafts. She and Barb would have booths at the local shows, especially in
the fall holiday season. From making teddy bears to quilts, she did most everything.

Waterford, her daughter Barb Bimson of St. Johnsbury, her brother:
