Lois Rae (Myers) Pulver passed away peacefully at home on September 6, 2023, at the age of 92.
She was born July 28, 1931, to Harley Raymond Myers and Esther Anderson Myers in Ephraim, Utah. Lois Rae attended Snow College and Brigham Young University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. She then taught school in Ephraim and Orem.
Lois Rae married her college sweetheart Willis Clinton Pulver in the Manti Temple on June 18, 1954. They were blessed with five children: Ron, Kay, Julie, Jill, and Wendy. Will and Lois opened their home to six youths: Robert, Benson, Suzie, Charlotte (Native Americans), Tomoko (Japanese), and Connie (Chinese).
She served faithfully and diligently in many church callings and served a church mission in Kane, Pennsylvania with Willis. She was full of love and compassion for her family and others. Her competitive spirit came alive playing sports and she really put on a spectator show while attending her children’s activities, especially wrestling matches.
She and Willis lived in Spanish Fork but made Payson their permanent residence. She loved writing letters, especially to missionaries. She corresponded with friends and family on a regular basis for many years. She loved acting in and attending the local community theater. Lois and Will owned and managed the Will-Lo Hobby Shop in Payson for 25 years.
Lois was full of life and love and will be remembered by the many people she influenced.
She is survived by Ron and Shauna Pulver (Heber City), Kay and Shelly Pulver (North Ogden), Julie Pulver (Provo), Wendy and Jason Laws (Provo), special niece Helen and Jim Semon (Lehi), 23 grandchildren (which includes stepchildren), and 17 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Willis Clinton Pulver, daughter Jill Pulver, parents Harley and Esther Myers, siblings Hal Myers and Francell Steck, great-grandson Will C. Pulver, and foster son Benson Tommy.
A special thanks to Aspen Senior Day Care Center for being a part of Mom’s family, along with Blue Rock Imaging in supporting Julie in Mom’s care.

September 14, 2023 at 11:45 pmI feel like I have known your mother my whole life. I remember their store when from when I was young, and they were in our ward for years. She was a Sunday School teacher to my daughter, and a loving friend. She was a favorite to go visit as well. When her house flooded, we helped her salvage all we could, and I saw the pain as her sweet husband’s (Your Father’s)things had to be moved from his art room not too long after his passing. She loved him and missed him so much. While I’m so sorry for your separation, My heart is happy thinking of their sweet reunion.

September 21, 2023 at 5:10 pmHow i LOVED you wonderful mother and grandmother! We were in the Park ward together. Lois Rae could always be found doing kind, good things for everyone. She was a great example to me as a young mother. I was so grateful to join up with the Pulver girls through Provo High. I even was able to get acquainted with Jacee. Lois has left a great legacy. I’m so happy for her to now join Will and have her young body back! Please know you and your sweet mother and dad are all remembered with love.
