She Put in a Good Shift!
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lois Katherine Armstrong, who died after a short battle with Leukemia at Maison McCulloch Hospice, in Sudbury, Ontario, on August 11th, 2025, at the age of 87.
Lois was the mother of Andy (Sylvie) and Jim (deceased). Fondly remembered by grandchildren Alex, Danny (Victoria), and Madeleine (Nico). Survived by sister-in-law, Gloria (Ron) Sirkka and brother-in-law Kent (Cherry) Armstrong. Predeceased by sister Joan (Ed) Geden and brother Bill (Eleanor) Groom. Will be greatly missed by nieces and nephews, Debbie Fortin, Jeff (Jane) Groom, Glenn (Shannon) Groom, Mike (Grace) Sirkka, Jeff Sirkka, Tim Geden, Tony (Wendy) Geden
Lois was happiest in her own home, occupying her days with word puzzles, games on the iPad, and of course knitting, which she did every day of her adult life. Lois was an avid bridge player and truly took tremendous joy in meeting up with her many lifelong bridge friends. An avid member of Saint Peter’s Church, where she was a member her entire life. Lois adored her grandchildren and enjoyed many summer vacations with them at the family camp. She was sure to be at every Christmas, despite the distance, for 35 continuous years. She will be dearly missed at our home for all Christmases to come.
It was Lois’s wish to not have a funeral service. A small family celebration was held at her home, as per her request.
Any donations can be made to Maison McCulloch Hospice.
Our dear Lois will be remembered with love and missed by all those she touched.
My sympathy to Andy, Silvie and Lois’ family. She was a wonderful fun loving friend for nearly 80 summers at our neighbouring cottages. She will be missed by all who knew her and may she rest in peace with her Jimmie now.
