Lozine lived with her now deceased husband, Marce in Pearisburg, Virginia and was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, attending the New River Ward in Pembroke, Virginia. She served a two-year mission there and held numerous positions of service and callings in the Church for over seventy years. Her faith was rooted deep in her as a never-ending light, beacon, and source of truth. She never failed to bear the testimony she held dear and cherished to all who inquired concerning her absolute faith in her religion. Her life was one of selfless service, charity, and goodness to all her fellow man. She never turned one single soul away from her door. She literally raised four families and gave service and assistance to a host of others. She truly was/is a beloved daughter of our Heavenly Father.
