Lois P. Gilbert, 86, of Palm Harbor, Florida, passed away March 4, 2022, after a brief illness. Lois was a forever fan of Englebert Humperdinck, frequent guest of The Olive Garden, The Outback (Loisisms), her vanilla McDonald's milkshakes and the originator of the Pellizari sweet tooth. She was born April 3, 1935 in Stafford Springs, daughter of the late Renato and Jennie Pellizari of Stafford Springs. After 22 years of being snowbirds, Lois and Norman became full time residents of Palm Harbor in 2016 after spending a majority of their lifetime raising their family in Stafford Springs and vacationing in the Northeast.
