Passed away at the Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital on Monday, December 15, 2025 in her 79th year. Lois was always caught watching animal documentaries with a KitKat in hand. She loved tending to her flowers in the garden and adding the next puzzle to her collection. As well as expressing her passion for fishing. Her furry companion, Zari, was always by her side. She loved and gave unconditionally to those in her family circle, which included her friends. When she saw a need, she would give out what she had without any hesitation. She enjoyed the simple things in life and never felt she needed more. We will all miss her quirky smile and many candid remarks. We love you always mom, fly high! Former Lois Irene Sherman.
