WINDSOR – Lois M. Joslyn, 88, a cherished mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on June 21, 2025. Lois was born on Sept. 22, 1936, in Waldoboro, the daughter of Irvine and Maybelle Eugley Genthner.

After graduating from Waldoboro High School in 1954 and the Rockland School of Commerce, she embarked on a professional journey that led her to touch many lives. From her beginnings at Saltwater Farm in Newcastle to her dedicated service at the Maine State Prison in Thomaston, as well as the Mental Health and Corrections offices in Augusta and the VA Medical Regional Office Center in Togus, VA, Lois’s work was marked by compassion and commitment. She retired in 1997, leaving behind a legacy of service that will not be forgotten.

Outside of her work, Lois was a true artist at heart. She found joy in crafting, lost herself in the pages of a good book, and reveled in the thrill of traveling, hunting for treasures at flea markets, and attending spirited auctions and horse races. A proud member of the Whitefield Lions Club and a recipient of the prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowship Award, Lois embodied the spirit of giving and community service.

She is predeceased by her parents, her beloved sister Madelene Poland, her brother Arthur Genthner, and her special friend Charlie Groton, who surely welcomed her with open arms.

Lois leaves behind her son, Raymond Knowlton, and his wife Paula of Buckfield, her beloved granddaughter Krista, and her great-granddaughters Roxie and Zoey, all of South Paris. She is also survived by her brother Ernest Genthner of Waldoboro, as well as several nieces, nephews, and countless friends whose lives she enriched.

A special thanks to the staff at Augusta Rehab and Maine General.

Lois’s warmth and laughter will echo in our hearts forever.

A graveside service will be held to celebrate her beautiful life, honoring her legacy of love and kindness on Friday, June 27, 2025, at 11am at the German Cemetery, Route 32 Waldoboro.

Arrangements are under the care and direction of Hall Funeral Home, Waldoboro. To extend a condolence or share a story with the Joslyn family, please visit Lois’s Book of Memories at http://www.hallfuneralhomes.com
