Obituary
BASTOW, Lois…
Lois Marie Bastow (Forbes) passed away peacefully at Henley Place in London, Ontario, surrounded by love on Wednesday, September 6th, 2023 in her 90th year. Loving wife of the late Edwin “Ted” Bastow (1988). Lois was the proud mom to her loving daughter Linda Avery (Larry) of Grand Bend. She will be missed by her brother Glenn (Helen), her two grandchildren who loved her dearly; Leah (Ian) and Tyler (Jenna), as well as her two great grandchildren Eamon and Addison. Lois will also be missed by her nieces and nephews who have fond memories of their Aunt Lois. As well, she will be fondly missed by her cousins, friends and neighbors.
Lois was born on May 26, 1934, in Sarnia, ON, to her parents Irene Marie Forbes and Donald Forbes who predeceased her. She was a long time employee of Kellogg’s Canada in Quality Control. Lois was a hard worker who balanced work life, raising her only daughter Linda, along with her husband Ted. She was known for her sense of humour, which helped her get through the ups and downs of life. As a passionate animal lover, Lois always had a cat or a dog, most recently her little dog Lily. She loved to shop, visit friends, maintain her lovely home and mostly she was devoted to her family.
The family wishes to thank the staff at Henley Place for their kindness and care of Lois, and to Diane who helped care for her as well. As an expression of sympathy, donations in memory of Lois may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society Southwest Partners, 435 Windermere Road, London, ON N5X 2T1.
