Virginia (Lois) Moss passed away peacefully on Oct. 4, 2004 in Birch Island. Lois was born in Victoria, B.C. on July 26, 1925, to Jessie Darling Morry (d. 1998) and William Sweetland Morry (d. 1952). Lois was predeceased by her husband Geordie (d. 1994), her sister and brother-in-law Shirley and Sam Couthard (d. 1999), and her son Dennis (d. 2004).

Great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, brothers and sisters-in-law and her many friends will feel the loss of this great lady.

Lois came to Birch Island to teach school in 1944. She met and married Geordie in 1947.

Lois loved her many community activities, teaching, volunteering, school board, hospital board, WI, church, square dancing, drama, arts and creative writing.

Quote from Lois “I Love the Ranch as I loved the Rancher, and I cannot now imagine any life that would be better than this one I’ve lived in the North Thompson Valley, with my family and the company of good friends.... “
