Catherine “Lorraine” Woodfine
Sydney Mines
It is with heartfelt sadness we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend, Lorraine Woodfine, age 80, on Saturday, November 30, 2019, at the family home in Sydney Mines.
Born in Sydney Mines on July 1, 1939, Lorraine was the daughter of the late John and Rosina MacIntyre. She is predeceased by her brothers, Brian and Joe MacIntyre, sister Mary MacDonald and her beloved son Brian Woodfine.
Lorrraine leaves behind her husband of 61 years, Tommy Woodfine, her brothers Barry and Johnny “Fox” MacIntyre, her children, Mary (Paul), Wilfred (Debbie), Sheldon (Lana), Paul (Letha); nine grandchildren; Brian (Megan), Ashley, Catherine, Robert, Justin, Spencer, Rebecca, Alyssa, and Michael, five great-grandchildren; Mya, Alexa, Landen, Ayla and Joshua.
Lorraine worked at the Northside Community Guest Home for a number of years. She was also honored to serve as the past president of the Cape Breton North PC party and actively involved most of her life. For many years Lorraine sang in the choir at the Holy Family Church, and was a lifetime member of the Sydney Mines Pensioners Club and loved going to fun night.
One of Lorraine’s greatest pleasures was socializing and sitting with her friends chatting, knitting, and laughing. Her door was always open to everyone.
Lorraine’s courageous battle did not sway her determination or stop her from living life to the very end.
Lorraine’s closest friends Pat and Jane will be forever appreciated for all their ongoing love and support over the many years.
The celebration of life will take place Wednesday December 4, 2019, at 10 am in Holy Family Church, Sydney Mines with Fr. James Oliver officiating. A reception will follow at the Sydney Mines Seniors and Pensioner’s Club.
In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or charity of your choice. Words of comfort may be forwarded to her family at www.jmjobesfuneralhome.com
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Lorraine MacIntyre Woodfine 2019..
