She attended Worldcons, and was frequently mentioned in con reports for Loncon II in 1965.

She was a second-generation fan; her parents were fans Roy and Deedee Lavender. Lois was engaged to fan Ron Ellik when he died from injuries received in a car wreck in 1968, just before their wedding. She married Earl Thompson about two years later, in November 1969; they divorced in March 1973, and she seems to have gafiated. In 1982, she married Kurt O'Ferrall Lund (1939–2021), a professor of thermal science.
