Surrounded by family and love, Lois Douglas passed away peacefully at Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington on Saturday, November 9, 2024 in her 95th year.
Lois was born in Owen Sound on September 18, 1930, a daughter of the late Stanley and Alice (nee Howey) Murray.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband and soulmate Murray Douglas on September 19, 2005 after 52 years of marriage and missed him deeply for the rest of her life.
Predeceased by her dear sister Yvonne Thom (late Jim) and brother-in-law Mack Douglas (late Betty) and niece Gail Becks.
Lois was the cherished Mother of Nancy Douglas of Burlington and Julie Douglas-Vail (Brad) of Meaford and the adoring Grandma of Matthew Douglas-Vail (Danielle) and Allie Douglas-Vail. She will be fondly remembered by her nephew Robert Thom and nieces Janice Douglas (Jack) and Lorraine Kindrat (Peter). Lois will be dearly missed by special family friend Rita Giachini and as Mom #2 by Laurie Wright.
She grew up on a farm in Holland Township and spent most of her life with Murray on Strathnairn Farm, before moving to Georgian Beach, Meaford where she and Murray built their retirement home on the water.
Lois loved her career as a public school teacher and was a talented singer and pianist who took many prize winning choirs to the Kiwanis Music Festival in Owen Sound. She enjoyed gardening, music and dancing and was happiest when setting a beautiful table and cooking for her family. No one will ever make a better apple pie than Grandma! Lois’ memory will be cherished by all who knew her and forever in the hearts of her family.
