and great grandchildren. She loved her gardening tending to it for her fresh vegetables and her fruit
from her orchard. She loved chatting and catching up with friends and family on a regular basis.

Lois requested to be cremated and wanted to have her ashes scattered on the hillside above the house
in Spray. The family will have a private family gathering for her and her husband, Richard at a future
time.
