HANSEN Lois
June 15, 1947 - February 17, 2012
It is with great sadness that we say our farewells to Lois, who passed on at the age of 64 years. Lois will be sadly missed by her siblings Dennis, Judy, David, Karen, Lois’s foster daughter Cindy Demuynck and family, 12 nieces and nephews, and 13 Great nieces and nephews. Lois was predeceased by her parents Larry Hansen and Eva Ells Hansen. Lois was born on June 15th, 1947 and lived in the Wintering Hills District with her Mom, Dad, Dennis and Judy until 1952. Moving into the Morrin area, Lois took one year at Golden Grain School, finishing her schooling in Morrin. After attending the University of AB in Edmonton for two years, Lois taught High School at Morrin in 1968-69. She then returned to University for her third year of training in Education. Lois loved the prairies and warm sunshine but felt the need to venture off to Vancouver BC and area, for her career in social work and clinical counseling, with much purpose and determination of always focusing on making things better for other people and the world. Lois was a gentle, warm and very strong soul with wonderful energy, humor and a bemused smile that would light up your world. She took in so many stray animals and wayward people – loving them for who they were and took care of them dearly. Leaving the Fraser Valley, Lois came home to AB in January; her family surrounding her with much love and care, until she passed away on Feb 17, 2012. A private family Celebration of Life will take place in Rowley on Saturday, February 25th. As well as Internment in the Rowley Cemetery where Lois will lay to rest with her deceased Grandmother Lucie Ells.
