Lois Signora (Mickens) Fairfax, age 84, went to be with the Lord, on December 18, 2025, surrounded by her family in Uniontown, PA. Born October 29, 1941, in Old Wynn (Fayette County), PA, she was a devoted servant of Christ, a loving mother, Nana, and wife to her late husband, Ken, for 53 years. She is survived by her son Kenny; daughter in love, Amber; five grandchildren: McKenzie, KJ, Mia, Aaron, and Trey; her brother, Charles Mickens and his wife, Barbara; brothers-in-law, Donald, Charles, and James Melvin; sisters-in-law, Catherine and Beatrice; and countless nieces and nephews--all whom she loved endlessly.
Lois is predeceased by her husband, Ken; four sisters: Christine Fitzgerald, Eleanor Chandler, Arlene Tarpley, Lillian Mickens; four brothers: Kenneth, Melvin, Robert, and Rich; and her parents, Marguerite (Banks) and Aaron Dock Mickens.
Lois graduated from Fairchance Georges Joint High School in 1959. She retired from Penn DOT in April 2004, after 33 years of dedicated service as a Type Clerk for the Right of Way. She enjoyed bowling, singing, and traveling, but most of all she loved spending time with her grandbabies and family.
Lois was a shining light in the lives of all the people who knew and loved her. Her journey on this earth was marked by love, compassion, and her unwavering faith in God. Lois was the “salt of the earth”, always positive, and a flavorful influence in the world. She reflected God’s goodness through her life and actions.
Much love is sent to her prayer warriors: Pat King, Sherry Fields, Madonna Minor & Carol Mickens, and a special thank you to Jackie Harris.
Although Lois’s physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May her memory be a blessing, and may we carry forth her legacy and love in all that we do. We can continue to honor Lois by welcoming Jesus into our lives.
Friends will be received at the Lantz Funeral Home, Inc., 297 E. Main St., Uniontown, PA on Saturday, January 3, 2026, from 11 AM to 1 PM. The funeral service will begin at 1PM. Her Celebration of Life will continue at the YWBA, 624 Duck Hollow Road, Uniontown, PA where friends will fellowship and join for repast.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital or Cavalry Assembly of God Church.
