Lolo immigrated to Canada with her parents John (Jock) and Elizabeth Pennycook at the age of three. They settled in the Drumheller Valley where she grew up and eventually met and married Claude (Butch) Slater, raising a family of three. Lolo is survived by her children Claudeen (Patrick) Swain, Stacy Slater, Todd Slater (Liz), grandsons Garrett Swain, Ried (Amanda) Swain, great grandchildren, Paige, Claire, and Edwin, sisters, Essie Lepard, Jean Warkentin and Wilma Payne, sister-in-law Lillian Pennycook, plus numerous nieces and nephews.
