After completing High School, Lois moved to Winnipeg and attended Success Business College. It was at this time Lois and Floyd met while living at the same boarding house. They were married in 1943. Lois and Floyd lived in Winnipeg until 1970 and were then moved to Montreal with Air Canada. In 1977 Floyd retired and they returned to Winnipeg. Lois was a regular at Windsor Park United Church and enjoyed connecting with her friends each Sunday. She also kept in touch with her many friends from Air Canada and former neighbours from Ashburn Street. Lois also particularly enjoyed her friends and all activities at Riverside Estates. In spite of having left Saskatchewan at such an early age, Lois never forgot her Estevan roots and was a great supporter of all things Saskatchewan. Lois's family meant the world to her and she took great pleasure in their company.
