NEWTOWN, CT — Lois M. Gottfried, 91, of Newtown, passed away on Feb. 13, 2023, in Danbury, CT.

Lois was born in Menasha, Wisconsin to Martha J. Pawlowski and James L. Baldwin on Sept. 6, 1931. She graduated from Menasha High School and attended college in Danbury. She married Arthur James Gottfried Jr. (Jim) on September 15, 1951, in Menasha. She was a homemaker and prior to her marriage worked in banking. Together Lois and Jim were parishioners of St. Gregory the Great in Danbury for 48 years. The garden Lois cultivated at the church was to her lifelong devotion to Mary, the Blessed Virgin.
