Twins Lois Lasher and Lori Hoots said their own children, when they were young, often could not tell their mothers apart.
Lois Lasher and Lori Hoots slept side-by-side in the same crib as babies. Nine decades later, the identical twin sisters still share a queen bed.“It’s nice to always have company,” said Hoots.
“Teachers would say, ‘Would you dress them differently so we could tell them apart?’” Lasher said, adding that on the days they wore different clothing, they would sometimes swap outfits at recess to confuse their classmates and teachers. The twins were apart for the first time when Hoots went to high school and college in Wessington Springs, S.D. Then in 1957, she married and moved to Chaseley, N.D. — about 50 miles from McClusky.
Lasher had three daughters and a son, and Hoots had one daughter and three sons. Their own children often confused them when they were young.The twins were finally reunited in 2000. Hoots divorced from her husband, and when she retired from working at a nursing home, she moved back to McClusky. The sisters moved in together in 2007, after Lasher’s husband died.Beyond the companionship, the sisters support each other with their health challenges.
The twins take turns cooking and cleaning, and they eat every meal together. In the summer months, they often break from sewing to do yard work — though neither of them has a green thumb, they said.“We love to make bread, buns and a lot of goodies, and then we take them to different families and give it away,” Hoots said.
