Jessica Belcourt (Rados) I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Lorraine. I cleaned for Lorraine, working for Merry maids for years! I took care of her at both the new condo and the old place before. I left on maternity leave and never really got to say a proper goodbye. She was the sweetest and it showed in her daughters ♡. 🙁 Giving my sincerest condolences to you all! She was an amazing woman! ♡love Jessica

Perry & Cathy Szeminski We had the privilege of meeting Lorraine through our daughter-in-law Andrea. She was a loving presence; a kind and dignified lady who will be greatly missed by her adoring family.
Lorraine had an obvious passion for life and a deep commitment to her faith.
Our most sincere sympathies & may the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Sharon Roebbelen Lorraine was a sparkling conversationalist, a stickler for grammar and propriety, and the mother of my life-long best friend, Kathleen. She always remained interested in her daughters’ and grandchildren’s lives despite the great distance that separated them. She was steadfast in her faith, even through times of grief, and was faithful to her local church her entire life. My heart goes out to Kathleen, Anne, Jamie, Katie and Andrea at this time time of loss.

Joan, Lois, David Broughton From the Idaho Broughtons,
Deepest sympathy from all of us to our beloved Canadian family. We loved Lorraine and Lorne and always enjoyed our all too infrequent times together. We know she is with her Lord, and that we’ll see her again! With love and our prayers.
Lorraine was the very dear friend of my mother, Margot Ney who passed away in 2020. Very fond memories of Lorraine and times she spent with our family. Lorraine was a huge part of my mother’s life for many years and my mother loved her dearly. With love and prayers for her family.
