Lois (Louise) Vivian Waker passed away at the Cypress Regional Hospital, Swift Current, SK on May 14, 2015 just 4 days prior to her 85th birthday. Lois was born in Swift Current, SK on May 18, 1930 to Florence and Elmer Howes and raised on the family farm near Success, SK attending the White Hall School. She married Darrol John Waker of Swift Current, SK on July 28, 1952 and began a life of running a household and raising a family.
