Lois V. Hove, 84, 1608 6th St SW, Minot, died Wednesday, July 10, 2002, at her residence of natural causes.

She was born July 26, 1917, at Douglas, ND, the daughter of Herbert and Hanna Young. She graduated from Ryder High School as Valedictorian of her class in 1936, after enduring a bout of polio at age 14. She felt very fortunate to be able to attend college at Jamestown, ND, graduating in 1940.

After her college years she taught school in ND, at Hartland, Max, Ray, Lansford, Columbus and in Minot at Erik Ramstad and Bishop Ryan schools. She also taught in Montana at Highwood and Glendive. She retired from teaching in 1980 after 31 years. Besides teaching, Lois spent 10 years working at the 'Nifty Nook" in Minot which was owned by her sister, De Lorez and also worked at the YMCA.

On March 1, 1944, Lois married Arnold H. Hove in Fort Benton, MT. They made their home in Minot since 1945. Arnold died in 1981.

Lois was a very dedicated teacher and enjoyed teaching. In Minot, she taught English to junior and senior high students. Her daughter, Lola remembers her mother spending long hours-correcting paper - especially essays. She remained an avid reader after retirement and kept up on current events.
