Lois Corinne LEGGOTT

1926 - 2022

LEGGOTT, Lois Corinne (née Whyte): It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother Lois at Trinity Care Centre in Penticton, BC on Friday, April 22, 2022 at the age of 96. She is survived by her children William Leggott and Gary Leggott; grandchildren Chris, Jason, Justin, Scott, Gary, Anna, Tara, Sean, Mike, and Amanda; great-grandchildren, great, great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Charles and Alberta Whyte, her husband Allan, her son Keith, her daughter Connie, her brothers William, George and Lawrence, her sister Shirley, and her grandson Joseph. Mom was born on April 12, 1926 on the family farm near Neville, Saskatchewan. The fourth of five children, she enjoyed going to school and completed her schooling at Daybreak and Neville schools. She left the farm at the age of 17 to start work at the Royal Bank in Eyebrow, Saskatchewan, where she met her husband Allan, and they were married on Feb 7, 1947. She helped our Dad to operate Leggott Motors in Eyebrow, and later Leggott Transport in Regina. She enjoyed time at our cottage on Echo Lake, Saskatchewan. Mom moved with her sons William and Gary to a farm near Kingman, Alberta in 1975, and later to Camrose, Alberta. In Alberta, she was involved in property management, helping her children further their education and careers, achieved her real estate broker's license, and opened a craft and wicker store. In 1995, she moved again with her sons William and Gary to Penticton, British Columbia, where she enjoyed gardening and researching genealogy. Throughout her life, she enjoyed doing crafts, including knitting, crocheting and needlework pictures, was very artistic with her many paintings, and enjoyed collecting antiques. She was a great supporter of all her children in their education and careers. A date for a Celebration of Life is still to be determined. The family would like to thank all the staff at the Trinity Care Centre in Penticton, BC for their compassionate care of our mother.
