Mrs. Lois Joan Adams Miniely

Lois passed away at St. Boniface Hospital on May 2, 2010 after a brief illness at the age of 86.

She is survived by her daughters Sharon (Bryan) Weston, Janice (Ian) Potter and Lauren (Dale) Mulhall and grandchildren Margo, Dana, Anna, Adrienne, Mary Elizabeth, Liam, and Colleen. She was Great Grandmother (GG) to Mallory, Audrey Lois and Nate. Lois will also be missed by her brothers-in-law Buzz (Peg) and Gordon Miniely as well as several nieces.

She was predeceased by her husband Floyd in 1998.

Lois was born on January 13, 1924 in Estevan Saskatchewan, the youngest of five children born to Frank and Sylvia Adams. After completing High School, Lois moved to Winnipeg and attended Success Business College. It was at this time Lois and Floyd met while living at the same boarding house. They were married in 1943.

Lois and Floyd lived in Winnipeg until 1970 and were then moved to Montreal with Air Canada. In 1977 Floyd retired and they returned to Winnipeg.

Lois was a regular at Windsor Park United Church and enjoyed connecting with her friends each Sunday. She also kept in touch with her many friends from Air Canada and former neighbours from Ashburn Street. Lois also particularly enjoyed her friends and all activities at Riverside Estates.

In spite of having left Saskatchewan at such an early age, Lois never forgot her Estevan roots and was a great supporter of all things Saskatchewan.

Lois’s family meant the world to her and she took great pleasure in their company.

A funeral service celebrating the life of Lois will be held on Saturday, May 8th at 10 a.m. at Green Acres Funeral Chapel, Hwy No. 1 East, with Rev. Dr. Sharon Wilson officiating. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
