Lois Grant

Mary "Lois" Grant (nee Porter) died peacefully at Royal Jubilee Hospital on November 2, leaving behind many loving nieces, nephews, caregivers and friends. Born in Calgary in 1916, Lois grew up in Stettler Alberta and met her husband John Grant in Edmonton. Having trained as a stenographer, Lois moved with John to Oak Bay during the 50s, and took a job with the BC government where she worked until her retirement in the late 70s. A keen gardener and woodcarver, Lois also enjoyed, swimming, playing bridge, water-colour painting and going for walks. She liked a good laugh and was fond of giving us unsolvable puzzles and delightful, witty poems, even publishing a small book of these in her 96th year. She also loved her activity days at Oak Bay Lodge.
