Rose Marie (Ducharme) Lossing was born September 2, 1923 to Anne (Dewey) and Joseph (Jack) Ducharme. She was born and raised in Elmworth, Alberta. On June 1, 1942 Marie married Ed Oakford. They were back and forth across Canada before Ed was deployed overseas. Their daughter Carol was born in July of 1943. Sadly Ed was killed over Iceland on December 19, 1944 and Marie was left a widow at a very young age. After the war, Marie married Allan Lossing. They lived in Beaverlodge and had a son Lane in 1948. In 1955 Marie and Allan moved their family to Dawson Creek, BC and Marie went to work at a flooring store. In the early sixties the family moved to Chetwynd, BC. She worked at an insurance office in Chetwynd until she retired. Wherever she lived, Marie made many friends. Marie was a charter member of the Order of the Royal Purple in Beaverlodge and stayed with the organization in Dawson Creek and Chetwynd. She was also a member of the Royal Canadian Legion in Chetwynd and she spent many hours volunteering for these organizations. Marie left us on July 8, 2013. She leaves to remember her daughter Carol (Frank) Day, grandson Brian (Monika), granddaughter Sharlene, son Lane, brother Maynard (Lorraine) Ducharme, sister-in-law Phyllis Lossing, brother-in-law Jack Oakford and many nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, first husband Ed and second husband Allan as well as many of the Oakford and Lossing in-laws. Marie spent her final years in Hythe Continuing Care Centre and her family wishes to thank the staff for the care she received there. A special thank you is made to all the volunteers who spent time and comforted Marie in her final days. A Memorial Service was held in Beaverlodge, Alberta on August 10, 2013. For friends so wishing, donations may be made in memory of Marie to the Hythe Nursing Home Foundation, Box 100 Hythe, AB T0H 0C0. Very Respectfully Beaverlodge Funeral Service
