and fierce family devotion. Born on December 16, 1925 - the last of four
daughters to Cleve and Leda (Hicks) Hash - Lois was a Depression Era child who
quickly learned the values of resourcefulness and optimism. She graduated
South High in 1943 and married her high school sweetheart, Mel Roth in
California, on January 5, 1944. She achieved all three self-established goals
in life: to be an excellent wife, a loving mother and a wonderful grandmother.

forth 10 grandchildren [Daniel, Justin (Andrea), Gena, Kaydee (Aaron), Tysen,
Sarah, Calan, Skylie plus Michelle and Trevor] and to date, four
great-grandchildren [Aysha, Caleb, Ian plus Rylie]. Those who knew Lois knew
her family, as she never tired of speaking about them. A birthday was never
missed, even when she was away; as the family grew, she was the hub, holding
us together with her love. Lois patronized the performing arts, with a special
love for the Hale Center and Pioneer Memorial stages. She was also a loyal
supporter of the University of Utah, especially Women's Gymnastics. A
