I went to high school with Lollie. We met at the very beginning of freshman year and were in the same homeroom. When I saw this obituary, I couldn't help but cry. She was such a nice girl, intelligent and a good speaker. I am so sorry for her family and close friends. She was a gem! I have only very nice memories of Lollie when we were at McAuley.

We barely had a chance to connect at our 50th Nativity of Our Lord Grade School Reunion just a few short years ago. I will remember your laugh and smile and the fun Halloween party at your home when we were so young. And young you will always be to me. Rest in peace, dear.

Dear Tom and Family,
The McKeon family was a wonderful friend to our (Joyce) family for many years, from Nativity of our Lord, school, and Church, also in our homes. Lollie was very special to me in many ways, as a child I borrowed dresses from her to wear for services at First Communion to May Queen. She truly was a wonderful woman, much like her Mother, Peg. The McKeon's help us always in a time of need and sorrow, with each Funeral for all our Family members. Lollie will be missed and loved forever. It was a pleasure knowing her. We as a family are sorry for your loss. The(Joyce's)
