Lois Alleene Fountain, R.N.

Lois Alleene Fountain, R.N. went to be with her Lord on April 19, 2020 at age 76. Though she lived in San Marcos, Texas for most of her adult life, she was born and lived in Mexico City, Mexico until the age of 15 when she moved to Corpus Christi, Texas to complete her high school education. At age three she contracted poliomyelitis and was initially fully paralyzed. Excellent medical care, especially from the Shriners Hospital for Children, led to her passion for nursing others into health and her Registered Nursing degree at Mather School of Nursing in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her first professional nursing position was at Metropolitan Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. This was followed by work in Oakland, California and then back in San Antonio at the Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston. She met and married Air Force Captain Benjamin Ellis Head, Jr. and continued living in San Antonio until her dear friend Dr. Kenneth Long hired her to work with him in San Marcos. In 1979 the Hays Memorial Hospital hired her as lead nurse in the labor and delivery department. During her 27 years at HMS, which later became Central Texas Medical Center, she served in many departments with a great passion for her work and service. Before retiring in 2006, she worked on quality assurance and oversaw the nursing peer review process. Her colleagues say she embraced the highest standards of nursing care. 05/23/2021 05:00 AM
