Lois Boston, the oldest living person in the U.S. state of Oklahoma, is celebrating her 112th birthday in Guymon.
Boston was born Lois Inez Wallin in Oklahoma on 10 May 1913. She was the ninth of 12 children born to Benjamin and Mary Lou Wallin. She graduated from Goodwell High School and later Panhandle A&M College, which is now known as Oklahoma Panhandle State University.
Boston married her husband, Charlie, on Christmas Eve 1936 in Guymon. They had three daughters: Gay, Charlene, and Victoria. She worked as a teacher in the towns of May, Felt, and Guymon, while also co-owning the Boston Furniture store in Guymon.
Boston was an avid golfer until she was 83 years old. She was widowed in 2006 after almost 70 years of marriage. At the time of her 107th birthday, she had five grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. She enjoyed playing bridge and getting her hair done and is a longtime member of Victory Memorial United Methodist Church.
On 19 April 2022, following the death of 112-year-old Ethel Bowens, she became the oldest known living person in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.
LongeviQuest extends warm congratulations to Lois Boston on her 112th birthday.
