Mary) Lorraine Armstrong of La Ronge, SK passed away February 16, 2019 at the age of 80 in Ponteix, SK. Lorraine is survived by her children, Jo-Ann Pitchko (Len), Shane Armstrong (Cindy), Kelly Armstrong (John), Alana Cunningham (Kurt)as well as her grandchildren and great grandchildren, her brother Kyle Dripps, brother-in-law Robert Barnard, and sister-in-law, Charlene Craig. She was preceded in death by her husband Roy Armstrong, mother Emily Dripps, stepfather Matthew Dripps, brothers David Craig, Gerald Craig and sister, Rossine Barnard. Lorraine was born in Indian Head, SK and grew up in Regina, SK. She and Roy moved their growing family to La Ronge in 1961, making the community their home for almost 58 years. Lorraine was a beautiful baker, supplying the town with donuts and pastries and made the most beautiful lemon meringue pies. She made a mean cabbage roll, but her idea of well done meat was more towards burnt offerings. Lorraine loved the outdoors and built a cabin at Otter Lake out of logs that were cut and peeled by the whole family. She loved gardening and was always puttering outside. Flowers and more flowers. Fall meant every surface in the house was covered in green tomatoes. Her artistry shone when it came to fabric. She made all the family clothing, plus her own and was always contacted to make outfits for ladies, new to the community. Her piano/music was her bible. She loved to sing and play and passed on that love to her whole family. Lorraine helped out at many events and was on committees, building and shaping the community of La Ronge to what it is today. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the La Ronge Senior Citizens, Box 688, La Ronge, SK S0J 1L0. Her family would like to thank the wonderful staff at La Ronge Home Care, The Foyer St. Joseph Nursing Home and the Lemieux Funeral Home in Ponteix. Lemieux Funeral Home in care of arrangements.
