Born October 22, 1940, in Conshohocken, Pa., she was the only child of Jennie and Louis Primavera. After her parents’ deaths, she was adopted by Anne and Dick Ambirg.
She was happily married to her loving husband of 40 years, Joseph Trave Jr., who preceded her death in 2002.
Lois was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her family was everything to her. In addition, Lois was a wonderful aunt and friend.
She was a graduate of Conshohocken High School and earned a nursing degree from Montgomery Hospital. Lois worked at Norristown State Hospital early in her career, followed by her own medical auditing business. She recently worked as a holistic consultant at Holly Hill Health Food in North Wales, PA.

I served on the Corpus Christi Parish Pastoral Council with Lois, and admired her energy at a time of growth for the parish. I also had the privilege of bring Communion to her at the service at Brittany Pointe, where she was always cheerful. In fact, the last time I saw her, those attending the service sang Immaculate Mary, partially as the result of a conversation with her.
Lois was a warm and kind and generous person who always showed her love of life, family, and friends. She will be truly missed. Prayers and heartfelt sympathy!
Patty, Lauren, and Brittany Miller
May the Peace and Blessings of God be upon the entire Family, may Lois rest in Peace with the Lord Coker and Melanie Thomas
