Lois found great joy in the simple pleasures of life, and could often be found tending to her gardens, partaking in various sewing projects and caring for her beloved cats over the years. She loved nothing better than a competitive game of euchre and the calming art of quilting, pouring love into every stitch. Lois was also very fond of watching her granddaughters play various sports and spending her summers cheering on the Blue Jays.
