November 15, 1929 – January 18, 2023
After a brief illness, Lois left us in her 94th year. The daughter of Louis Doucet and Ellen O’Connell, she was predeceased by her six older siblings. She was also predeceased by Maurice, her husband of almost 50 years. She is survived by her son Francis (Jan Ramsay) and granddaughters Mia and Caroline.
Lois’ long and happy marriage to Maurice included wonderful travel with dear friends. A loving and devoted mother, she later relished her role as grandmother to Mia and Caroline.
Throughout her lifetime Lois enjoyed rich friendships including in later years at the Cambridge.
Lois was by nature curious and open to learning. An avid reader, she enjoyed her books and her Globe and Mail. She explored new interests throughout her life but was particularly drawn to art. She enthusiastically enrolled in fine arts courses at Sir George Williams University. Most of all, Lois enjoyed painting and possessed a keen eye for colour.
The family is grateful to the dedicated nursing staff and doctors at the Lakeshore General Hospital for their attentive care.
A visitation will be held on January 25 from 2-4pm and from 7-9pm, at Voluntas, 4695 St-Jean Boulevard, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, H9H 2A7. A service will be held on January 26, at 11am, at St. Edmund of Canterbury Church, 105 Beaconsfield Boulevard, Beaconsfield, H9W 3Z8.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation.

Une maman est irremplaçable. Son amour pour ses enfants continue même après son départ de ce monde.
Dans ces moments de douleur, les paroles de Saint Louis de Gonzague, jeune homme mourant, dans une dernière lettre à sa mère, sont source de consolations:
»La bonté divine m’invite du haut du ciel à ce souverain bonheur… Mère, veillez donc à ne pas offenser cette infinie Bonté, ce qui arriverait sûrement si vous veniez à pleurer comme mort celui qui va vivre en la présence de Dieu et qui vous servira plus par ses prières qu’il ne le fit ici-bas. Notre séparation ne sera pas longue, nous nous reverrons au ciel et, réunis pour ne plus nous séparer, nous jouirons de notre Rédempteur, nous Le louerons de toutes nos forces et nous chanterons éternellement Ses infinies miséricordes. »
Que le Seigneur vous procure, et à toute votre chère famille, Sa consolation.
