Lois M. Roberts, 96, of Allentown, died Feb. 6, 2021 in St. Luke's Hospice House.  She was the widow of Rev. Dr. C. Alton Roberts (2005) and Kenneth Metzger (1971).  Lois was born in Naperville, IL.  She worked in accounting throughout her career, last working for a car dealership in New Jersey in the early 1970's.  Lois was an active member of the Lutheran Church, both in NJ and PA, working alongside her husband, Pastor Al and taking leadership roles as president in the Northeast PA Synod with LCE/WELCA (Lutheran Church Women) of the ELCA, traveling the country to speak on behalf of women's issues.  Lois also served on the Board of the J.L. Schneller School in Lebanon.  She was an active member of The Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, Emmaus, where she sang in the adult choir, chaired the Altar Care team, was a founding member of the women's group, M&M's, supporter of the Rejoicing Spirits ministry, and tour-guide alongside Pastor Al on trips to Europe, Norway, and the Holy Land.  Lois enjoyed entertaining, traveling, going out to eat, Pine's Dinner Theater, and gathering with friends.  She could tell stories – in great detail "like nobody's business."  Her friendship and presence will be missed by all who knew her.
