In Loving Memory of Lois “Lolo” Calvin

In Loving Memory of Lois “Lolo” Calvin

The community of Greenville is mourning the heartbreaking loss of young Lois “Lolo” Calvin, a bright, spirited, and deeply cherished 7-year-old whose light shone far beyond her years. The beloved daughter of Andrea and Josh Calvin, Lolo touched the lives of everyone who knew her with her radiant smile, infectious laughter, and boundless curiosity.

At just seven years old, Lolo had already mastered something many spend a lifetime learning — how to love freely and live joyfully. She approached the world with wide-eyed wonder, asking thoughtful questions, noticing the smallest details, and finding magic in everyday moments. Whether it was chasing butterflies in the yard, drawing colorful masterpieces, or proudly sharing stories about her day, she carried a spark that made ordinary days feel extraordinary.

To her parents, Andrea and Josh, she was their greatest treasure. She filled their home with giggles, imaginative adventures, and the kind of warmth only a child can bring. Bedtime stories were never just stories — they were shared journeys. Family outings were never just errands — they were opportunities for discovery. Lolo had a way of turning simple moments into lasting memories.

Friends and teachers describe her as kind-hearted and thoughtful beyond her years. She was the child who would notice when someone felt left out and gently invite them to join in. She shared snacks without hesitation and hugs without being asked. In classrooms and playgrounds alike, her presence was a gift — a reminder of innocence, empathy, and unfiltered joy.

Her nickname, “Lolo,” became synonymous with sunshine. When she entered a room, the atmosphere shifted. Her laughter was bright and contagious, lifting spirits even on difficult days. She had an energy that felt limitless — dancing without music, singing without fear, and loving without boundaries.

The loss of a child is a sorrow no family or community is ever prepared to bear. In Greenville, hearts are heavy with grief for a life taken far too soon. There are no words that can fully capture the ache felt by her parents, extended family, friends, and neighbors. Yet even in this overwhelming sadness, there is a deep and abiding gratitude for the seven beautiful years she gave to the world.

Lolo’s life, though brief, was meaningful and impactful. She taught those around her to slow down and see the world through a lens of wonder. She reminded adults of the beauty in simple things — a rainbow after rain, a favorite song on repeat, a tight squeeze of reassurance. She showed that kindness does not require age, only heart.

As the community gathers in remembrance, candles glow in her honor, and stories are shared through tears and smiles. Each memory — whether of her playful spirit, her fearless curiosity, or her gentle compassion — keeps her light alive. Her name will continue to be spoken with love, her spirit carried forward in the lives she touched.

To Andrea and Josh, and to all who loved her, may comfort be found in knowing that Lolo’s light has not been extinguished. It lives on in every act of kindness inspired by her, in every laugh that echoes her joy, and in every child who reminds us of the wonder she so naturally embodied.

Lois “Lolo” Calvin’s time on earth was far too short, but her impact was immeasurable. She will forever be remembered as a bright star in Greenville — a sweet soul whose love and laughter will never fade.

Rest gently, precious Lolo. Your light continues to shine in the hearts of all who were blessed to know you.
