Lois was born on December 29, 1913 on the farm south of Scribner to Harry and Margaretha (Low) Dahl. She was baptized in the St. John's Ridgeley Lutheran Church south of Scribner. She attended the Jamestown School near Ames. Later the family farmed in the Webster area and in 1925 they moved to a farm in Colorado.
Lois graduated from high school in Burlington, Colorado in 1931.
She then returned to Scribner, where as a young adult, she was confirmed in the United Lutheran Church. In Scribner, she worked for the newspaper until moving to Fremont, and then to Omaha to work.
On November 19, 1939, in Blair, Nebraska, Lois was married to Elmer H. Ludvigsen of Fremont. Fremont has been their home since that time. During her working years, Lois worked for the former Mode O Day (ladies dress making company) in Fremont, then assisted her husband in his business (selling various leather goods and shoe repair) in downtown Fremont. Later, after selling their business, she worked for Pendleton Woolen Mill in Fremont, retiring at the age of 72.
