LOIS THELMA LITTLE (nee DANIELSON) Peacefully, with family by her side, Lois Thelma Little passed away at the Health Sciences Centre on April 17, 2013, at the age of 77. She was predeceased by her parents: Oscar and Inez Danielson; sisters: Lenore Anderson and Anne Sniegowski, and infant brother Keith Danielson. She will be forever lovingly remembered by her husband of 55 years, Ernie; son Brian (Karen); daughters: Valerie, Sandra (Geoff), Cheryl, and Crystal (Rui); grandchildren: Melanie, Landon, Kelsey, Dean, Marina, Natalie and Matthew; siblings: Vern, Joan (Dave), Sharon (Leonard), Carol (Dale), Gail (Brian) and Donna as well as numerous nieces and nephews, and aunts: Ilene and Lila. Mom was born on the farm at Moose Range, SK. She attended Labalm Country School and later Alysham High School where she graduated from Grade 12. After high school she worked at the Co-op Creamery in Nipawin, SK and then, the telephone office. For many years later on mom answered the telephone at work in her "Operator Voice" with a "May I help you?" operator twang! She married Ernie Little of Nipawin, SK on January 28, 1958 at the Nipawin United Church. In 1964 mom took the train with four children from Hudson Bay, SK to Thompson, MB to join Ernie where he had been hired by INCO Ltd. Their fifth child was born in Thompson. Mom did not work again until 1973 when she became a retail clerk at Westdale Pharmacy, and later Anne's Pharmacy after Westdale closed. Mom retired from Anne's Pharmacy in June of 1993. Shortly after retirement mom and dad moved to Carman, MB where they resided for 18 years. In 2011 mom and dad moved again, to Portage La Prairie, MB. No matter where mom lived, she made many a friend along the way. The family would like to thank the Doctors and Nursing staff at Grace Hospital as well as Health Sciences Centre. We especially wish to thank nurses: Monica and Denise from 4 South and, Corrine from ICU at the Grace Hospital as well as Tanya, Humaxi and Robert from CCU / MICU at Health Sciences Centre for their wonderful care of mom and for their compassion for us, her family, during this difficult time.

Mom was an avid Gardner and loved flowers of every shape and colour. If anyone wishes to send flowers to honour mom's memory they would be most welcomed and appreciated.
