Lois Ashby Clater, 77, of Manassas, died February 10, 2021, surrounded by her loving family at her home.

She was born April 4, 1943, in Remington, to the late Powhatan Cooper and Ruth Grimes Cooper.

Married to the late Robert Clater Jr. for 53 years, she was the strongest fighter you could ever meet. She loved her family and adored her beloved grandchildren even more.

She loved the beach, boating, tennis, Alabama football and the Washington Redskins. She was the “slot machine queen” and a legendary storyteller. As the wife of a CIA agent, she travelled the world with Robert to Germany, Spain, Panama and Japan, just to name a few.

She is survived by her children, Robert Clater III (Terry), Karen Clater Daffan (Lee), and Kimberly Tannehill Hall (Roy); a sister, Patricia Bowen; her grandchildren, Ashleigh Clater, Meagan Clater, Courtney Clater, Broc Daffan (Samantha), Cooper Daffan, Chloe Tannehill and Rylee Hall, and two great grandchildren, Lamont Shipp III and Carson Eanes.

In addition to her husband, she was predeceased by siblings Mary Jane Furman, Lawrence Cooper, Francis Merindini, William Cooper, Glen Cooper and Powhatan Cooper.

The family will receive friends from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, February 15, at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton. The funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, February 16, at Colchester Baptist Church, 10405 Schaeffer Lane, Nokesville, with Rev. Dallas Slemp officiating. Interment will follow at Midland Cemetery.
