Lila Eileen Laila Aliina KUJANPAA

Suddenly on November 7, 2002, in hospital in Ottawa. Born Laila Aliina Kujanpaa, her education was in Cecil School, Dauphin Collegiate and Success Business College. She worked in Winnipeg until she married Bill Lewis and moved to Toronto. She continued working until children Robert and Diane completed the family. Her grandchildren, Scott and Amy, and Michael, Thomas and Samantha, were her pride and delight. Lila was active in women's groups associated with three Lutheran Churches. She was also an active member of the Canadian Friends of Finland and the Nordic Society. She loved animals and her gardening. Burial will be in the town of her birth, Rorketon, Manitoba. A memorial service will be held in Ottawa on the family's return from the West. The support of her brother Ben Kujanpaa and Jean, son-in-law Jonathan and daughter-in-law Linda is gratefully acknowledged. The Ottawa Citizen, 08-11-2002
