Lois Queirolo Shellworth
May 16, 1928 – August 8, 2018
Atherton, California

Lois Q. Shellworth, a resident of Atherton, CA for 48 years, died August 8.  She was 90.

Lois Jeanne Queirolo was born in Oakland, CA, and spent her childhood in San Francisco in the Crocker-Amazon neighborhood.  She attended Corpus Christi School and Notre Dame High School. After high school, she enrolled in the University of California, Berkeley where she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta Sorority.  After college, she worked at the Leo J. Meyberg Co, a wholesale distributor for radio, T.V., and appliances.

Lois met her husband, Tom Shellworth, in San Francisco and they were married in 1955.  While raising their three children she was very involved in their school activities and events, and in her church community of St Denis.  Lois, a loving mother and wife, treasured her time with her family and traveled extensively with her husband.  Her wish was that the closeness and caring that characterized her family be nurtured forever in her children and grandchildren.  This is the legacy of her faith and family.

Lois was preceded in death by her husband, Tom.  They were married 50 years.  Lois is survived by her children, Thomas Jr. (Debbie) of Vacaville, Susan Hull (Sandy) of Laguna Hills, and Peter (Elizabeth) of Clovis, and eight grandchildren, Bill Hull (Nicole), Patrick Hull, Bobby Shellworth, Joe Shellworth, Charlie Hull, Sally Shellworth, Danny Shellworth and Mary Kate Shellworth, and two great grandchildren, Amelia and John Hull.

On Friday, August 31, at 11 a.m. a memorial mass is scheduled at St. Denis Church, 2250 Avy Ave., Menlo Park, CA 94025.
