Over the years Lois had various jobs in the Austin and Albert Lea areas, including Hormel, Land O’Lakes, Streater and the Shopper.

Lois was a member of the American Legion, VFW and Eagles Auxiliary. She had a love for crossword puzzles and all Minnesota sports — especially the Twins. Lois enjoyed being with her family very much.

Lois is survived by her children Gary Prihoda of Twin Lakes, Leann (Eldon Monson) Prihoda of Albert Lea, Craig (Debbie) Prihoda of Albert Lea, Joe Prihoda of Albert Lea and Lorie (Scott) Schreiber of Albert Lea; son-in-law, Ed Wichmann; 22 grandchildren; 39 great-grandchildren and one on the way; 14 great-great-grandchildren and two on the way; as well as one great-great-great grandchild on the way; and many nieces and nephews.

Lois is preceded in death by her husband, Floyd Prihoda;  parents Theodore and Mabel Enerson; daughters Sharon Wichmann and Jeaneen (Jim) Tabor; daughters-in-law Cathy Jo Fitzgerald and Margaret Prihoda; brother, Duane (Charlene) Enerson; brothers-in-law John (Elizabeth) Prihoda and Clarence (Sophie) Prihoda; sisters-in-law Loretta (Milo) Prantner and Dorothy (Milo) Cafourek; and great-grandson, Dominic.

A special thank you goes to St. John’s for the excellent care its staff provided to Lois.
