Im so sorry for your tremendous loss. I remember Lois from the tennis club years ago. We were in a doubles tournament together and won it! She was so thrilled because we were the underdogs. Whenever i ran into her afterwards she d bring it up. So had much life and enthusiasm. She will be missed.
I am very sad to see Lois has left us. She was a lovely lady. I first met her when we worked at Dominion Grocery Store in Cobourg back in the 70’s. Over the years we would joke about getting together for coffee. She will surely be missed. Condolences to all her family Gail Deveau

To all of those who loved Lois...it is with such a heavy heart that I learned of Lois's passing. I worked with Lois at the Dominion store when I was just a young lady in my late teens/early 20's. Lois was always so kind, and caring and she took me under her wing. In our later years, Lois lived just down the street from me and would always come out and talk to me when she'd see me walking with the children I cared for. I will always remember her and think of her as the sweet, happy and kind woman that she was. RIP Lois. xo
