Lois J. Ostrom, 81, formerly of Sartwell Creek Rd., Port Allegany, PA passed away Monday (Nov. 27, 2023) in UPMC Susquehanna, Williamsport.

     Born February 16, 1942, in Coudersport, she was a daughter of Torrence and Elizabeth Hochstine Davis. In April 1970, in Port Allegany, she married Robert H. Ostrom, who died Nov. 11, 2017.

     She was a lifetime resident of the area and a graduate of Port Allegany High School, class of 1961.

     Lois started working right out of high school at Galeton Production, Galeton, and most recently Pure Carbon of Coudersport, for many years, before her retirement.

     Working alongside of her husband Robert, they built their family business, Pennsylvania Flagstone located in Roulette. They worked very hard and sacrificed everything for it to become a very successful business that they were both proud of.

     She loved NASCAR, reading her morning paper, and listening to country music.

     Known to everyone as “Aunt Lois”, she was the best Mom, Grammy, & Aunt Lois anyone could ask for. She will be dearly missed by us all. Her stories and traditions will live on in her grandchildren for many years to come.  It is not goodbye; it is see you later. Although she didn’t say it, she was thankful to everyone who helped her, took care of her, or was just there to listen.

    Surviving is a daughter, Tracy J. (Kelly) Crosby of Roulette; a son, David A. Kelligan of Coudersport; five grandchildren, several great-grandchildren; a brother, Dale A. Davis of Roulette; and several nieces and nephews.

     She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Robert, a brother, Leroy Davis, and a sister, Florence Deprey.

     Abiding by Lois’s wishes, there will be no services.
