Lois passed away on September 10, 2019, surrounded by family and love. She leaves behind her best friend and beloved husband of 49 years, Bob, and deeply loved sons Scott and Mark, as well as adored grandchildren Henry and Flora. Predeceased by her parents of St. Thomas, Ont. and an infant sister, she is survived by her brother Ronald Lyle, four nephews and a niece, four grand nephews and a grand niece, many dear cousins and close friends.
Family, community work and teaching were the joys of Lois' life from Ontario to Alberta and BC. She earned an honours BA from UWO and a M Ed from UVIC. She was a member of CFUW and the United Church of Canada. Treasured times with Bob were family dinners and reunions, travel, camping, RV trips, guided tours, theatre attendance, square dancing, skiing and gatherings with friends, all involving laughter and celebration. In retirement, Lois, a lifelong learner, enjoyed reading widely, baking favourite desserts, and maintaining cross-Canada connections.
