Cullis, Lois Isobel

March 26, 1931 - January 14, 2026

Lois Cullis passed peacefully in London Ontario on January 14, 2026.

She was the beloved sister of the late John A. Cullis and sister-in-law of the late Jean Cullis. She was the Aunt of two nieces: Catherine Jane Hewer (Jim) of London Ontario and their families and Patricia Lee Boyd (Jonathan) of Brampton Ontario and their families.

Lois was born in Mariposa Township near Eden, Ontario and was proud of her heritage as a "tough farm girl". She taught children for many years for the Durham Board of Education in Oshawa and over several summers completed her Master of Library Science at Drexal University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Reading, attending plays, travelling and enjoying a good meal with friends and family were what she most looked forward to during these years.

No matter where she travelled, she always considered Orillia, Ontario her home. During her retirement years, Lois continued to make Orillia her home base as she travelled to many countries in the world. She gave numerous travelogues sharing her photos and memories of her travels. She was also an active member of University Women's Club, the United Church of Canada as well as being a regular blood donor. Lois was a voracious reader throughout her life and she considered many people as well as her cherished books as her friends.

A private family interment will be held at a future date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to Cambray Community United Church or the Salvation Army would be gratefully acknowledged.

Arrangements entrusted with A. Millard George Funeral Home, 519-433-5184. Online condolences, memories, and photographs shared at www.amgfh.com
