SATRE, Laila Foyn - (November 20, 1924 – August 18, 2020)
We are saddened by the passing, at home, of my mom, Laila in her 96th year.
Laila was born in Larvik, Norway to Thora and Captain Alf Foyn. She was predeceased by her husband Helge and sister Alfhild.
Survived by daughter Tone Reid, husband Lee, and grandchildren Erik and Kristin.
She and Helge immigrated to Canada in 1953, after deciding not to move to Kenya (too many snakes, she said).
Prior to moving to Uxbridge, both Laila and Helge were active in the Claremont Lions Club. Both became presidents of that club, Laila being the first female one. They travelled extensively. However, when at home, her door was always open and offering coffee and treats to guests.
Cremation has taken place.
If desired memorial donations to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated by the family.
