Lois Ogilvie
My deepest condolences to Lois’s family and friends. Dear Loie, I will miss our telephone conversations – chatting about football, food, Constance Bay, my mother and life. I was blessed to have enjoyed the time we shared together. You always brought such joy to me, your voice alone had the power to brighten me up especially when I was feeling down, I’d give you a call and I was instantly wearing a smile. You were and will continue to be an inspiration to me. Thank you for being so beautiful, inside and out. Love you forever, your cousin Alexis. My family (Danny, Skye & Adrian and Calvin) also sends their deepest condolences to the Blanchette family.Alexis Nicol

Lois finally at rest
To all who knew and worked with Lois, in choral or instrumental music, knew her talent, dedication, and passion for performance. Her delicate physique, her passion for football, and her positive attitude to life is how I will remember her. She took me under her wing in elementary school, teaching me elocution and supporting me in my piano studies. Over the years, when I moved away from Sherbrooke to Ontario and later to Alberta we remained in touch.I admired this special lady for her amazing resilience and bright mind.
