      LOLA FRITZ
      May 11, 1924 - May 3, 2002


      Joan ?Lola? Brand was born and raised in London, within the sound of Bow bells. Lola forever carried fond memories of family trips to Weston-super-mare, where she developed an enduring love of the ocean. During WWII, she met and married Henry Fritz, the love of her life. In 1946, she immigrated to Canada with her year-old son, landing at Pier 21 in Halifax and travelling by rail to Saskatchewan. Lola and Henry made their life-long home in Shaunavon, raising eight red-haired children and later enjoying their spouses, 16 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. A circle of close friends grew from her long involvement with the Anglican Church and the ACW.
      Lola combined a determined and mischievous nature with beauty, elegance, gentleness and patience. She loved teddy bears, collected unique clocks and had a passion for mystery books, crossword puzzles, travel, figure skating and curling. Her dogs, garden and flowers brought her much enjoyment; however, Lola was never happier than when surrounded by the noise, laughter and antics of her family.
