After graduating from Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital as a Registered Nurse, Lois worked at Sunnybrook in Toronto when it was a military hospital and cared for wounded and ill soldiers. She was an avid collector of antiques and operated an antique business out of her home in Toronto for several years. She was also known as an accomplished restorer of fine furniture.

Cremation will take place. A private family graveside service will be held at West Montrose United Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated since Lois battled the punishing effects of Alzheimer’s disease for many years.
