Together again

It is with great sadness that the family of Margaret Lozej announces her passing at Thunder Bay Regional Hospital after losing her courageous battle with numerous cancers since 1988, most recently in the past 5 1/2 years.

She loved life and after each recovery either from major surgery or therapy, she would bounce back and carry on living like it was just a minor inconvenience and she never complained. She loved playing cards especially the bus trips to The Shooting Star, Euchre at The Legion and Moose, Yahtzee, Bingo, and puzzles. When the grandchildren started to arrive, her life was complete. She would play endlessly including baseball, soccer, tubing on a snowmachine, getting full of mud 4-wheeling, cards and hide and seek. There were no activities that were excluded nor would she miss any rides the grandchildren wanted to go on at the Fall Fair held each year in Dryden. She always made sure there were an abundance of treats when they would come to visit. Her love for her family and grandchildren will live on forever. Her grandchildren Martin and Michael Kellar; Mark, Tyler and Donovan Marion; Jordon, Lindsay, and Stacey Upton and six great grandchildren will cherish the love of their grandmother forever. She was a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother that lived the true meaning of loving un- conditionally and letting go.

She has left this life to rejoin her husband Alojz who passed on September 3, 2003. Mom was a true believer in “Life goes on” and also a very personal and humble person.

There is no service at her request. Her final wishes are to have her immediate family and grandchildren put her to rest alongside her beloved husband. Cremation has taken place. A private interment of ashes followed on Friday, October 23, 2009

If friends and family so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Dryden CT Scan Fund through the Dryden Community Funeral Home.

We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts who helped make her life special and meaningful. We thank her immediate family and all her card playing buddies. She wants you to remember her “alive in your hearts” doing all things with her that she loved to do. We thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, cards, flowers, donations in her memory and countless hugs and support.

Olga, Roseanne and Ramona
