Lois E. Bourgeis
Lois Marie Eaves Bourgeis passed away on June 3, 2010 of causes related to age.
She is survived by daughters Karen Bourgeis Miller, Judy Bourgeis Rush and Carol Bourgeis Schwartz; six grandchildren: Kim Sroufe-Fehley, Kari Sroufe, Scott Varner, Kathi Varner Cooper, Elizabeth Schwartz, and Kristin Lefevre; nine great-grandchildren: Tyler Fehley, Christopher Standeford, Chastity Standeford, Corey Standeford, Tawnie Marie Moore, Bruce C. Varner, Douglas D. Willmes, Marie Lefevre, Olivier Lefevre, and great-great-grandchild, Corbin Knapp. She is also mourned by devoted friend and companion of over 50 years, Bill Bennett.
Born May 26, 1919 to Loi and Marie Eaves, she grew up in Elmira, Oregon, where her parents established the Elmira Meat Locker. She graduated from Elmira High School, and later married and started her own family in Elmira.
After many years as an executive secretary, she took the courageous step of starting a new, and ultimately successful, career in the insurance business providing insurance to Oregon businesses and individuals. After 35 years, she decided to retire this year on her 91st birthday.
After her family, her passion was travel. All together she ventured to over 50 countries on all 7 continents, from China to Tanzania to Costa Rica, often bringing along her daughters or grandchildren to share her love of seeing new places. She had an eye for photography, and on her many trips photographed people and especially wildlife. She became a contributor to wildlife and nature conservation organizations.
Among her many joys were gardening, breakfast at The Original Pancake House, and keeping up with the Oregon Ducks and Seattle Mariners. Famous to her kids and grandkids for her tomatoes, strawberry jam, and macaroni and cheese, she valued, most the time she spent with them.
A memorial service will be held at West Lawn Memorial Park in Eugene on Friday, June 11 at 11 a.m.
Memorial remembrances may be made to Sacred Heart Foundation for Cancer Research at P.O. Box 10905, Eugene, OR. 97440.
