In 1968, Dr. Lois Pratt was appointed Professor of Sociology at Jersey City State College where she taught and published numerous scholarly works in the sociology of health, death, and gerontology. In her 44-year career, she also held professional positions at Central Michigan University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Cornell University Medical College, and Columbia University.
After retirement, Lois, together with her late husband, Sam, continued to pursue research and writing focusing on the governance of non-profit organizations. Lois and Sam Pratt were founding members of the Common-Interest Homeowners Coalition (C-IHC). Lois served as President of this organization for the last two years of her life. In that capacity, Dr. Pratt worked tirelessly to advance the rights of homeowners living in condominiums and planned unit developments in New Jersey. For all of their efforts, we will be forever grateful.
