It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Lois Agnes Bednar (nee) White on Sunday, August 22. Lois passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family. Although she will be missed, we are comforted knowing she is with her husband Matt of 64 years who passed 1 month and 1 day prior.
