Lois Hale passed away peacefully with her loving family by
her side on March 10 at the age of 87. Lois was the daughter of the
late Walter and Helen (Wilkins) Wallace and stepdaughter of the late
Harvey Richardson.
Lois was born on March 2, 1935, in Drury Cove, N.B. She was
an excellent student and received both the Latin and French awards at
Sus High School. She met Fraser, the love of her life, and they
shared 61 years of marriage. They were members of St. Paul’s
United Church. Lois resided at Salvation Army Lakeview Manor in
Riverview since September 2016.
In 1953 Lois trained to become a Registered Nurse and showed
compassion and devotion to her patients for 40 years. Lois worked in
the O.R., Labour & Delivery and the Maternity Ward. The new
mothers appreciated her so much she often came home with gifts. She
was also well respected by her colleagues, who became her Nursing
“sisters.” She cherished their lifelong friendships and
looked forward to attending their annual reunions.
Lois showed compassion to stray animals and rescued many cats
over the years which brought her great joy. She also loved flowers,
especially red roses and she enjoyed being a member of the Westmorland
Horticultural Society. She also enjoyed baking and made many desserts
to the delight of her family especially her grandchildren! Lois
combined her love of flowers and baking by entering the annual Garden
Club Show. She received several awards and encouraged her
grandchildren to enter too.
Square dancing was a shared hobby Lois and Fraser both
enjoyed for several years. They also shared their passion of music and
Lois even learned how to chord on the piano when she was 58 years old
so she could accompany him on the violin. She was a longtime supporter
and enjoyed the music and social events of the Sus Ave.
Fiddlers.
Lois and Fraser spent many summers at Parlee Beach basking in
the sun. They entertained at their cottage by hosting many
BBQs. After retirement, they enjoyed the sunshine year-round
as they spent many winters in Florida.
Predeceased by her husband, S. Fraser Hale, Lois will be
dearly missed by her three daughters, Susan (Raymond) Arsenault,
Barbara (Ian) Frensch, Brenda (Dana) Richard as well as seven
grandchildren: Daniel (Insung), Samuel and Margaret (Chris) Arsenault,
Andrew (Jordan) and Luke (Kaitlyn) Richard, Matthew and Peter Frensch
and one great grandson, Sterling Richard.
The family would like to thank the Lakeview Manor Staff for
their dedication and compassionate care Lois
received.

Paul’s United Church Riverview on Tuesday March 15
