Lois has been my long time friend almost 50 years since we were at university. When she came to Japan, she stayed with me and when I visit Washington DC, I stayed at her home. She is warm, so kind and intelligent person always with smile. When I took about 20 Japanese artists to Washington DC in 2012, after the big earthquake and Tsunami to organize the exhibition, she let me and another artist stay her home and gave a wonderful party for all of us! What a fantastic experience we had....all...

My friendship with Lois goes back to the 1980s, when we were both members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, along with her sweet mother. Lois was so kind and gracious and a wonderful friend for a transplanted Midwesterner, welcoming me wholeheartedly into her life, as she did with so many others. After I moved back to Minnesota, I had the pleasure of hosting her for a visit here, and taking a trip with her to Beijing and Mongolia: an opportunity for which I will always be grateful to her and...

Lois was my neighbor from 1986-1996. We played a little tennis and entertained each other over the years. She was always gracious and interesting. Later I learned that she was a volunteer at THIS for Diplomats serving as a member of the the Washington DC Cultural Exchange and Embassy Liaison to the Bahamas.
She was too young to go.

Lois was a real charmer. The combination of her own friendly personality and her Foreign Service skills meant she could talk to a doorknob---and not just with nice to meet you clichés, but with thoughtful observations on the issues of the day.
She was fully engaged in DC: she knew about and attended all the cultural and political events around town. Between opening night of the Oresteia at the Shakespeare Theater, or an interesting speaker at the 6th and I Synagogue, her...

Lois Herrmann has been a long-time supporter of Jubilee Jobs, helping unemployed but eager to work persons find marketplace jobs in Washington, DC. As a Board member of the Barth Foundation, she facilitated their support for Jubilee Jobs for many years. She also came regularly to our annual Benefit dinner.
Last year she came and visited with DeSean Lawson, a new staff person and young man not accustomed to large and rather formal dinners. He had been told he needed to talk to at...

I was a member of Lois's book club in DC for many years. I no longer live in the DC area, and am sorry I will miss her memorial service. She will be greatly missed.

I knew Lois from the Beauvoir pool; you could say we were summer buddies. Loved to talk to her about her book club, travel and just what we were both up to. We had many laughs. I'm so sorry that I didn't know she was ill. A lovely person who will be missed by many.

Lois was such a wonderful, memorable person. I met Lois through work about 25 years ago and was shocked to learn today of her death. She was always so cheerful, so engaging, so rational and so bright, a loyal and dedicated daughter and friend. We met again in Istanbul in the first year of this century and did a Bosphorus cruise on the Hiawatha one September afternoon with Consulate General colleagues. I remember once Lois told me the story of how she happened to join the Foreign...
