Lois Jean Brant
4/16/1931 – 5/4/2025

On May 4, 2025, of Indian Trail, NC at the age of 94. Born Lois Jean McCrum in Richmond Hill, Queens, NY. Predeceased by father Arthur H. McCrum, mother Georgiana Burling, and brothers Arthur H. “Sonny” McCrum, Jr. and Harry R. McCrum.

She worked many years at the Sperry Gyroscope Corp. and Sears. Lifelong fan of sports, especially baseball and the New York Mets. She loved to read and do puzzle books. Her favorite animal was the hummingbird, though she diligently bird-watched all birds outside the windows. Dogs were her favorite pets, though cats eventually grew on her. Visiting the beach was something she adored. She could never miss an episode of General Hospital or Good Morning America. Her many skills included cooking, baking, and sewing.

Always outspoken, she never missed a beat when giving her opinion. Though often funny, kooky and sarcastic, she was a fire that burned brightly, providing warmth and light and comfort to all who knew her. Ever-present in the lives of her children and grandchildren, she did what she could to be involved in major life events and holidays, despite being across the country. Her dedication, love, and care knew no bounds.

Lois is survived by her three children, Robert H. Brant III, Kevin T. Brant, and Jeanann Germano; Eight grandchildren, Robert H. Brant IV, Kyle T. Brant, Nicole M. Germano, Kayla J. Germano, Christopher L. Germano, Kevin T. Brant, Jr., Glenn C. Brant, and William A. Brant; One great-grandchild, Chase A. Brant; Son-in-law Louis Germano and daughter-in-laws Lorraine Brant and Carol Brant.
