Lorraine was an amazing, strong, loving woman and mother, who even through hardship, raised seven strong, caring, capable women. She started her career at the original Willow Lodge and finished at Lillian Fraser Memorial Hospital as a PCW. She was an exceptional caregiver with a huge heart, amazing compassion and was well loved by patients and staff. Lorraine was a member of the Presbyterian church and served on many committees and cooked for many potluck dinners. Lorraine had a faith that surpassed any life experience and instilled these values in her daughters. Lorraine was an avid knitter, loved camping, singing, Christmas Club, was active in her church & community and hands down made the best biscuits, as determined by all the family. Mom enjoyed a good laugh and many long walks and talks with her beloved sister-in-law, Eileen. Thank you to the staff at Willow Lodge for the love and dedicated care of our mother, we will be forever grateful.
