Lois B. Puig
1924 - 2024
Lois B. (McConvey) Puig passed away at the Charlotte County Hospital, St. Stephen, N.B. on Wednesday, December 4, 2024.
Lois was born in 1924 in St Stephen, N.B., daughter of the late George and Carrie (Smith) McConvey. She was the youngest of eight children and was predeceased by her parents, twin brothers, who died at birth, seven siblings, John Walter, Georgie, Grace, Millie, Mary and Glenna.
Lois joined the Canadian Air Force during World War II, after which she married Ernest Puig of New York. They divorced in 1950.
She worked in Ganong’s Candy Factory, Elm Lodge Nursing Home and Charlotte County Hospital from where she retired in 1989.
Lois was a strikingly beautiful woman with an inexhaustible source of energy even at the age of 100! She had a love for clothes, her dogs and cats and her family, but most of all her Lord Jesus Christ.
She loved to go shopping, out to eat at Carman’s and take rides to St Andrews and the Nature Park with her daughter to see the occasional deer. They went everywhere together and were best friends as well as Mother and Daughter.
Lois had the sharpest memory of anyone half her age and loved to watch Trump on Fox. She was very loving and she would give you the "shirt off her back". She will be sadly missed by her family and friends.
She is survived by her loving daughter, Sherry Hill and her husband Steve of Calais, Maine, granddaughter, Tari of Washington, Maine, grandson, James Hill of Jacksonville, FLA., Darin Hill and his wife, Sheila of Meddybemps, Maine, great-grandchildren, Kevin Moholland and his wife Kaitlyn of Washington, Maine, Nicholas Holmes of Calais, Maine and Dustin Goodwin of Baileyville, Maine, great-great-grandson, Christopher Moholland of Washington, Maine. She is also survived by her nieces, Donna Swim and her husband Greg of McAdam, N.B., Myrna McConvey of St Stephen, N.B. and family friend, Helen Hubley, several great nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be held in the spring of 2025 at the St. Stephen Rural Cemetery, St Stephen, N.B. Date and time will be published when available.
A special thanks to the nurses at the Charlotte County Hospital 1st floor and to the sweet nurses in the CCU who went above and beyond making my mother comfortable, especially Jessica who held my mother’s hand when I was not there. Also a special thank you to Myrna and Helen who were with mom and I the last two days she was in the hospital.
