Lois Ada MANSER is predeceased by her husband Gordon Clifford Manser, her cherished sister and brother-in-law, Carol and Dave McNerney.

Lois was a kind and generous hearted person who cared deeply about her community. She trained as a Nurse at Toronto Sick Kid’s Hospital, and graduated in 1958. She worked at Nithview Nursing Home and St. Luke’s Place for many years. As a cancer survivor, and out of her love for others she volunteered at Grand River Hospital for 16 years after retirement.

Lois was full of creativity, from card-making to scrapbooking to sewing clothes for her family. Most notable was her passion for miniatures and room box designs. Her creations included scenes from: after a Christmas dinner, the Front Porch, the Garden Shed and the Sewing Room.

She always looked forward to FaceTiming with Ron & Polly Manser, who live in Alberta, every Sunday at 1pm, Chinese dinners with Ken & Gail and phone calls from nieces and nephews.

Once moving to Morningside she loved the social gatherings with her neighbours and really enjoyed Thursday Night Darts.
