LOWISE HAMILTON It is with a heavy heart and with great sadness that I announce the passing of my wife, sole mate and lifelong friend, Lowise Hamilton on October 24, 2004 at the age of 63 years. She also leaves to mourn and cherish her memory her sons, Mike (Lori), Shawn and David and grandson Jordan and surrogate grandchildren, Dallas, Jason, Terry and Larissa; sister Elaine; brother Ron as well as several nieces and nephews. Lowise was predeceased by her parents, Virginia and Russ Hammond. Lowise was a long-time resident of the Lockport area, where together with her husband and children built a loving home. She loved to travel and spent many happy hours camping with the family and establishing lasting friendships during this time. In latter years she also travelled with her husband Stu in his duties as a Safety Consultant in Western Manitoba. She particularly enjoyed our last trip together to Thompson, admiring the changing of the leaves and the beautiful colours of the fall season. She was an active volunteer, well noted for her abilities in the kitchen as well as her coordinator skills and gave endless hours planning events and helping others. For many years she was an administrator of a local cemetery where she gave comfort and support to others during one of lifes most difficult times. Her zest for life was an inspiration to all that knew her and to those whose lives she touched. She will forever remain in our thoughts and in our hearts. Cremation has taken place. A memorial and celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, October 27 at 10:00 a.m. at Gilbart Funeral Home, 309 Eveline St., Selkirk.
