In memory of
Lois Marie Briand
August 22, 1929 – December 09, 2021 - 92 years old
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lois Williams in Chandler hospital at the age of 92 on December 9, 2021.

Predeceased by her parents Emmanuel and Mary Briand, brother Richard (Dick) Briand, her husband, Lester Williams and sons, Robert (Bob) Williams and Randy Williams.

She leaves behind her sister, Ella Beck, brother, Gary Briand; children: Auley, Connie, Hollie-Jean and Bradley; grandchildren: Nicholas, Ryan, Jonathan, Jordan, Shanna, Jasmine and Emily. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews and friends.

Burial will take place in the summer of 2022 at Saint James Anglican Church in Port Daniel.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Saint James Anglican Church in Port Daniel, Chandler Hospital, and the Hayes Bursary.

Thank you to the entire staff of Chandler hospital for the excellent care given to Mom over the past three months. Thank you to all of the family and friends who supported Mom and her children. Lois will sorely be missed on the hill and all who had the opportunity to have met her. She was a pillar in the community and well beyond and stood for everything related to family, friends, Shigawake and the Gaspe as a whole.

She was who you would want as a mother, a sister, a friend and a community leader ...

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Lois who was a dear friend to many. Lois was a very kind, considerate person who always was willing to help others. She will be a great miss to her community and the friends she made over the years. May she rest in peace...

A very bright light has gone out along the Gaspe Coast with the passing of Lois. Her light will continue to shine as we remember her warm hospitality. her care of the elderly, her true and dependable friendship, her nurturance and care of her family and her commitment to school ,church and community. She was an example to all when she bore the passing of her two oldest children with great strength and courage. Her pride in the accomplishments of Auley, Bradley, Connie and Holly Jean
were trademarks of her personality. Remembrance of her will continue to brighten the lives of her friends. She was truly one of a kind whose light will not be forgotten soon. My sincere sympathy to her family and her community. Betty Anne
