It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dear Mum and Grandma, Lois Jean Personnic (nee Stewart) on July 27, 2024 (Paul in 1997). Lois was born on December 5, 1935, raised in Burlington, Ontario and where she later met her loving husband Paul. In 1963 Lois, Paul and their four children moved to Hagersville. Shortly after moving to town, Lois began working in the newly built West Haldimand General Hospital in the Medical Records department. Her career changed quickly when the decision was made to open a family business. From 1974-1996, Lois and Paul were the proud owners of Personnic Country Market. They worked together and made lifelong friends with their employees and customers. Lois loved entertaining her family, reading, working at the library, gardening, supporting the community and spending time with friends. She was also a member of the Hagersville United Church. Paul and Lois were so proud to live and work in this community. Lois will be remembered for the unwavering love of her family and the great times spent with her grandchildren, in Ontario and British Columbia. She enjoyed traveling with her husband to visit family in Jersey, Channel Islands and Brittany, France. Lois is survived by her children, Elaine, Paul (Lucy), Gail (Laszlo), Sandra (Dave), grandchildren Kathryn, Duncan, Michael, Andrea, Andrew (Shailah), Peter (Sara), Philip, Jason (Kristen), Alison (Nigel), Sean (Chelsea), great-grandchildren, Isabella, Lorelei, Eloise, Maison, Lola, Zoe, Xavier, Freya, Samuel, and Eleanor.
