In Celebration of

Lois Galbraith

October 7, 1939 -  March 24, 2019

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lois Adrienne
Galbraith at the age of 79. Lois was tough, loving, and generous, and
quick with a smile when you needed it. We will miss her incredibly.

Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband Victor, her
children Sean (and wife Michelle) and Carrie, granddaughter Tess, and
brother and sisters Randy (Lorraine), Marilyn (Pat), and Gail (John). Lois is predeceased by parents Lorne and Dorothy Smith, and brother Grant.

Lois hailed from Britt, Ontario, the second of five children. She went
to high school at St. Joseph's Convent in Lindsay, where she enjoyed
sneaking over the wall to smoke with boys. She joined the army to be
in the typing pool but quit because she didn't like the uniform. In
her many photo albums, she is always having a good time with friends
and family. She was a proud member of Phi Beta Kappa sorority for over
40 years.

Vic and she were married for 52 wonderful years. After they adopted
Sean, Carrie was born a little over a year later. She was always the
backbone of the house. If you ever asked what was for dinner, you
always got the same response: "horseshit and sawdust".

Her later years with Parkinson’s were increasingly difficult on her
and Vic, who excelled at being her caregiver. Her family takes comfort
that she is now at peace.

Visitation to be held at Turner & Porter “Peel” Chapel (2180 Hurontario Street, N. of Q.E.W.) Mississauga, Thursday, March 28, 2019 from 2-4 and 7-9 pm.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to Parkinson Canada.

Online condolences may be made through www.turnerporter.ca

Lois was extremely kind to me and was always there for me when I needed her. She helped me incredibly when I was only 22 years old and suddenly on my own after my father died. She invited me over for several dinners and holidays and was always willing to talk. She was genuine and one of the best. I thank Vic, Sean and Carrie for sharing Lois with me. I have many fabulous memories. Thinking of you all at this time. Memories last forever. Louiseann Fisher and family
