ROCHESTER/GENEVA – Lois passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 89 years young. Friends may call at the DeVaney-Bennett Funeral Home, 181 N. Main St., Geneva on Friday, July 26, 2019, from 10:00 AM until 11:30 AM. Funeral services will follow at 11:30 AM in the funeral home. Rev. Emily Huyge, Pastor of the First United Methodist Church will officiate. Burial will follow in St. Patrick’s Cemetery. Memorial contributions, in her memory, may be made to the Salvation Army. Lois was born in Corning, New York to James and Esther (Wiliams) Cloud. Shortly after graduating from Northside High School in Corning, Lois began a career as a telephone operator for New York Telephone. With the outbreak of the Korean War, she volunteered for transfer to Sampson Air Base and moved to Geneva where she met her husband, George Quinn. After marriage, Lois made her family her priority but continued her career as an operator both part and full-time. After moving to Henrietta, she ultimately became the voice of the Rush-Henrietta School District as the Central Office Switchboard operator. She retired after 20+ years with the district. She is survived by her children, Sue, Tom, and Jim; grandchildren: Matt, McKenzie, Caitlin, Thomas, James, Jeffrey, Mary, Catherine, and Anna; many beloved nieces and nephews; and grandnieces and nephews. Throughout her life, Lois was fiercely devoted to her family and they were her greatest joy. She will be missed for her thoughtfulness, kindness, loyalty to family and friends. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 59 years, George Quinn; her brother, James “Mickey” Cloud; and her sister, Ann Love. The family would like to thank Dr. Ralph Pincus and Dr. Jerry Miller for 40+ years of superb care; and more recently Dr. Gary Noronha, Dr. John Richeson, and Michelle Sturman, PA. We would also like to thank her wonderfully caring companions, Carol Ann, Sue, B, Sue F, and of course the RR Hill Peeps Happy Hour Group for unmatched food, fun, and friendship. God Bless all who knew and touched Lois’ life as she touched theirs.
