They also had a group of friends who traveled by RV all over the United States. Lola’s favorite places to meet up with the RV crew were the Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg and Durango, Colorado. Lola was very involved in her children’s lives and volunteered in many of their activities. Being a creative person, Lola was always working on various crafts. She especially liked working on Christmas and cross-stitch projects which she would display throughout her home. Lola is survived by her husband, Ed Stanton; son Joe Stanton and wife Dorothy of Rhode Island; daughter Leanne Stanton Jacobson and husband Michael of Arkansas; and son Lowell Stanton and wife Christina of Texas, as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
