<div itemprop="description">ALLISON, Lois Katherine <br />September 11, 1939 &ndash; March 26, 2016 <br />Lois passed away early March 26, 2016, at the Red Deer Regional Hospital after her final battle with lifelong diabetes. <br /> <br />Lois was born in Bentley, Alberta, to Ernie and May Koski. She attended school in Nordegg, AB, and Red Deer at Lindsay Thurber High School where she met her high school sweetheart, Gary, who became her husband May 16, 1959. Lois is survived by her husband, Gary, of 57 years, daughter, Susan (Jim), son, Joe (Juanita), granddaughters; Lindsay (Jason), Lauren (Robert) and Danielle (Peter), and grandson, Darcy. She will also be sorely missed by her sister, Linda (Frank), sisters-in-law; Diane (Albert) and Linda (Robert), good friends; Arlene and Gerrit Visser and Marylynn Foote and Paul Kane, and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. She recently was made a most proud great- grandmother with the arrival of Danielle&rsquo;s (and Peter&rsquo;s) son, Jackson. <br /> <br />Lois was always working at some project&mdash;she was a fine knitter and would perfectly sew anything you could want. She was a great cook and baker and her Christmas recipes shall live on through her children. Always &ldquo;if something is worth doing it&rsquo;s worth doing right&rdquo; was her motto, whether crafting, cooking or bookkeeping&mdash;her final profession before retirement. We will miss her. <br /> <br /> The family would like to thank Dr. Johan Viljoen and Dr. Kim Jim and the staff on Unit 31, as well as many neighbors for their kind acts and compassionate care. <br /> <br />At Lois&rsquo; request no formal service will be held. Family and friends are invited to join us for a memorial tea on Saturday, April 16, 2016, at the Radisson Hotel on 67th Street, Red Deer, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. <br /></div>
