Obituary of Lois June Catherine Hewitt

Peacefully, at McGarrell Place Long Term Care Home on Thursday, August 17, 2017. Loving wife and partner of Howard for 66 years, loving mother of Susan, David, Elizabeth and Dennis. Favourite aunt of many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her brothers Sonny, Michael, Larry, Arthur and Dennis; sisters-in-law Ruth and Theresa; and parents Cecil and Emily. Always a port in any storm for family and extended family, friends or any animal that needed a home. Best known for her shortbread cookies at Christmas, and her roast beef and Yorkshire pudding at any time. Lois is probably already playing the slots, bingo, or beating her brothers at crib or euchre. Terrific sense of humour and wit to the end, she was cherished, and will be missed by all who knew her. A special thank you to the staff at McGarrell Place for the care and the kindness shown to her. As per Lois’ and the family’s wishes there will be no visitation or funeral service. However, a Celebration of Life will be held at 8-578 McGarrell Place, London, on Saturday, September 9, 2017 from 2:00-5:00 p.m. Please drop in and share your stories with Howard, and raise a toast to Lois. In lieu of flowers, please consider giving a rescue animal a home or donating to a rescue shelter/organization in her name. And, as always, drop a quarter in any slot machine you see.
