Loretta E. (Troop) Rafter
1939-2021
It is with profound sadness that we announce the
passing of Loretta Elvira (Troop) Rafter. Loretta passed away with her
family by her side in Midgic, New Brunswick, at her family home on
Sunday, January 24, 2021.
Loretta was born in Midgic, on May 13,
1939, to Raymond John Troop and Elsie May (Hicks) Troop in the home of
Ada and Roy Hicks – her grandparents. She is survived by her husband
of more than 60 years, Vernon Rafter.
Loretta will be sadly missed by her
three children, Kimberley Johnson (late Robert) of Westcock, N.B.,
Lori Musser (Robert), Cocoa, Florida, USA, and Michael Rafter (Alma
Power), of Iqaluit, Nunavut; her three beautiful grandchildren,
Isabelle, Nicholas, and Maia; her two brothers, Dexter Troop (Carol)
of Hamilton, ON, and Leaman Troop (Linda) of Midgic, N.B., her close
friends Angie and Gord Carlisle as well as numerous nephews, nieces,
cousins, and friends.
Loretta was known for her warm and
generous hospitality. She was an avid quilter, and adored her
vegetable garden, enjoyed crosswords puzzles, and was an enthusiastic
walker. Her favourite place in the world was ‘at the
lake’ where she loved to spend time with her family and
friends.
Arrangements are provided by the
Jones Funeral
Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville, NB
(506-364-1300), from where cremation has taken place. A service of
remembrance will be held in the future followed by interment in the
Midgic cemetery.
If so desired, donations in memory of
Loretta may be made to the Midgic Baptist Church.
