Lois A. Busby

Lois A. Busby, 70, of East Greenwich, passed away November 10, 2016. She was the wife of the late George H. Busby and the former wife of Kevan W. Forden.

Lois was a perennial gardening genius and tea enthusiast who touched the lives of many, particularly mentally handicapped children for whom she was a caretaker at the L. Arthur Trudeau Center.

On top of all that, she was years ahead of the trend as an amateur farm-to-table chef.
