Those deeply affected by her passing are her partner in
life’s journey, Bryne MacIntyre, and her special niece Luanne
Schekhtayan and her family Sonia, Lindsay, and Katie, and their
children, Breanna, Alaya, Richie, A.J., T.J., Hailey, and Layla, all

Leonard, and Don; her sister Laura; brothers-in-law, Frank Kostek and

Lois quietly but passionately started life’s journey in the
banking field after graduation from high school. Her next
endeavours were St.FX University and on to Teacher’s
College. Lois loved learning new things and spent the next
phase of her life employed with the Department of Adult Education,
teaching in Amherst and Stellarton. Teaching in the adult
division was most rewarding for her, she loved watching students
succeed after they had endured many disappointments and
hardships.
Lois dearly cherished the formation of lifelong friendships
with people of all walks of life. She spent countless hours
talking, listening and helping sort things into perspective with these
many, many friends. Her doors and especially her caring
heart were always open to any new or old challenge.
Lois regarded life as a precious gift from God and felt
unworthy of His many blessings. She touched the lives of
many people through her gentle and generous nature. She was
a kind and caring soul, quiet in strength, rich in wisdom, subtle in
wit.
Lois enjoyed her family, camping, and the comfort of her
home, especially proud of her yard. Later in life, hockey
became her passion. She enjoyed each young players
contribution to each and every game. Her family meant 110%
to her and she especially enjoyed the happy occasions, but with a
heavy heart endured the trying and sad times with each and every one
of them.
The greatest gift of all is God’s love, please show love and
compassion for each other.
