Lois

Smith’s Bible Dictionary (1863)

(agreeable), the grandmother of Timothy, and doubtless the mother of his mother, Eunice. (2 Timothy 1:5) It seems likely that Lois had resided long at Lystra; and almost certain that from her, as well as from Eunice, Timothy obtained his intimate knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures. (2 Timothy 3:15) (A.D. before 64.)

Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)

The maternal grandmother of Timothy. She is commended by Paul for her faith (2 Tim. 1:5).
