California man dies in
Highway 101 accident
OBITUARIES
COVEY—Lois
Marie
Covey, 87, formerly of Napa,
passed peacefully at her home
in Florence while surrounded
by family on March 13, 2015.
Lois was born in Los
Angeles, Calif., to the late Bill
and Gladys Leonhart on
September 15, 1927.
Lois attended Sequoia High
School before attending San
Jose State University, where
she met the love of her life,
Robert (Bob) Dale Covey.
She and Bob were married
Aug. 20, 1950, and enjoyed a
long and happy life together
until Bob’s passing in 2004
after 54 years of marriage.
Lois and Bob relocated to
Napa, where they settled and
raised their two sons, Mike
and Steve.
While raising their sons,
they designed and built their
home, then established and
operated the Mt. George
Christmas Tree Farm.
People came for miles just
to have the ultimate family
experience of finding the
perfect Christmas tree, with a
cup of hot cocoa and a candy
cane for the kids, along with
feeding the sheep in the
barn.
Lois found great joy in her
life at the farm. She was an
avid gardener and an accom-
plished homemaker.
Lois was a warm and com-
passionate person who espe-
cially enjoyed being surround-
ed by family and friends.
In addition, she had a great
love of animals and provided a
wonderful home for many
dogs and cats, chickens and
geese, to name a few.
While living in Napa, Lois
volunteered at the Napa
Humane Society.
In 1990, Lois and Bob relo-
cated to Florence, where the
Siuslaw River feeds into the
Pacific Ocean. It was here that
Bob designed and built Lois’s
beautiful dream home.
Lois is survived by her
sons, Mike and Steve Covey;
her brother, Bill Leonhart; a
nephew, Billy Leonhart; and
numerous friends.
She deeply touched the
lives of all who knew her.
