Lois Harriet Morris was born February 25th, 1941, in Tilbury, Ontario.
She often reminisced about her idyllic life growing up on her father’s farm in Es County in Southern Ontario. She was proud of her academic accomplishments, especially earning a University Degree from Western Ontario in Social Work. She had just started her career as a social worker in Toronto when she met her husband, Terry Matte, who had moved east from Victoria, British Columbia to work as a reporter for the Toronto Telegram newspaper in the 60s.
After she married, Lois stepped back from her career to focus on raising her three boys and supporting Terry’s career in journalism that took the family from Toronto, to Ottawa, then Winnipeg, and finally back to Ottawa to settle in 1984.
