Lois and Lawernce built together their 15 acres campground in the 70’s just west of Brockville, Happy Green Acres Tent and Trailer Park. Lois had a passion for gardening and was often known by her friends for having the most beautiful gardens. Visitors of the park knew her for her meticulous attention to detail with her “crisp white towels and the cleanest washrooms”. Lois was fondly remembered for her appetite for sweets, a good diner breakfast and, a taste for instrumental music. In her earlier years Lois often found comfort with the seasonal ladies over tea and cookies in the evenings or rocking in her favourite chair with the newspaper’s crossword puzzle.
