Lois
The grandmother of Timothy (2 Timothy 1:5). Her family, including Timothy’s mother, Eunice, lived at Lystra (Acts 16:1). Lois was a committed Jew. She appears to have converted to Christianity during Paul’s first missionary trip (chapter 14). Paul comments that Timothy shared the faith of his grandmother and mother.
