Lois Ferne Mc Cutcheon, a valued member of the Dwight community and a friendly business owner, passed away unexpectedly at her home on May 19, 2026. Born on May 13, 1959, in Owen Sound, Ontario, Lois dedicated her life to her family, her community, and the things she loved.
She ran her own business, Cottage Maintenance and Cleaning, where her dedication to quality and care for her clients shone through each day. In addition to being an entrepreneur, she actively participated in local events and was affectionately seen as the go-to person in Dwight. Her warm personality and readiness to help others made her beloved by many and left a lasting impact on those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Lois had many hobbies that brought her happiness. She enjoyed hunting, fishing, and riding her ATV with her loyal companion Susie Q by her side. A former member of the Lions Club, she showed a genuine desire to give back while staying connected with others. Her adventurous nature and love for nature were defining traits that added both excitement and tranquility to her life.
Having received a high school education, Lois grew into someone whose influence reached far beyond traditional accomplishments. She brought warmth not just to her family but also to the entire community around her, fostering unity and friendship.
Family meant everything to Lois. She is survived by her brothers James Allan Mc Cutcheon and William Earl Mc Cutcheon along with sister Faye Emily Marie Bistretzan; sisters-in-law Margaret Mc Cutcheon and Kathie Mc Cutcheon; nephews William James “Bill” Mc Cutcheon (and his wife Jackie), William “Andrew” Mc Cutcheon (and his wife Michelle), Douglas (Amy) Mc Cutcheon; nieces Cheryl Mc Cutcheon, Christa Bistretzan, Jennifer (Tom) Hoegl, Jodie (Brian) Miller, Kathie Lynn (Ray) Cutting; Anne Mc Cutcheon (Luke). She was preceded in death by brother Glen Ward Mc Cutcheon as well as parents James and Christine (nee Ward) Mc Cutcheon.
Lois spent her last moments with Susie Q close by-an illustration of their strong bond and love for one another.
