OWDALL, Lois Frances (nee Roe)
February 11, 1924 – May 14, 2017
Surrounded by the loving presence of her family, as the result of a series of falls and most recently a fractured hip, Lois Frances Booth Roe passed away in the Queensway Carleton Hospital on May 14, 2017, in her 94th year. Adored wife for 67 years of the late Russell (2011), the love of her life, whom she has missed each and every day. Caring daughter of the late Ernest Roe and Ruby Mulligan – the third of their ten children. Forever loved, appreciated and now deeply missed Mother of Elvyn (late Arlene), Linda (Lothar Klimpel), Joan (Jim Bradley), Laurie (Rick Beerens) and Joyce (Brian Vent). Cherished Granny to six grandchildren who gave her much joy and laughter - Mark (Casey) and Cory (Lindsay) Bradley; Tania (Ryan) and Caitlin Ardley; Caleigh and Tahra Flegg. Very special and fun-loving "GG" of Jack and Kendall Bradley and Olivia and Cohen Larocque, who brought her pure pleasure. Caring and respected Mother-in- Law of Brian Flegg, Paul Ardley, and Peter Popowicz. Predeceased by brothers and sisters Gerald and Dorothy Roe, Thelma and Leonard Moore, Glenys and Gerry Smallshaw, Eleida and Bernie Devine, Keith, Hillis and Verna, and Marlyn Garland. Dearly loved by Reg and Lesley Roe, Lorraine and Mel Hanna, sister-in-law Mary Roe and brother-in-law Garth Garland. Affectionately remembered by her nieces, nephews and very special friends, including many at Stillwater Creek Retirement Community. Lois's credo was simply "The Golden Rule" – seldom spoken, routinely practiced, with a characteristic quiet smile, subtle wit, compassionate ear and helpful heart. Resourceful, industrious, determined, accomplished, unassuming and engaged throughout her life in so many varied pursuits, her primary focus never wavered from ensuring her family felt secure in their roots and encouraged to find their wings. We are so grateful for her life and her legacy. Our family extends heartfelt thanks to all of the staff at Stillwater Creek Retirement Community for their love, support, encouragement and kindness over the years – particularly during the past few months. We are very grateful to Dr. Roger Drake for his continued kind and attentive care and to Dr. Christopher Brown and the nursing staff of the Queensway Carleton Surgical Floor for their compassionate support. Lois was an active life-long member of her community with a deep devotion to her church. If you wish, memorial donations in her honour to Christ Church Ashton or Munster Union Cemetery would be appreciated. Or, as Lois would suggest, "Just do a good turn for somebody."
