Obituary of Lorna Lynn Stack
It is with great sadness that the family of Lorna Stack (Kerr) announced her peaceful passing on December 20, 2020. Lorna was born on August 12, 1939 in Saskatoon. She grew up in the Nutana area and attended St. Joseph elementary school, Nutana Collegiate, St. Thomas More College and the University of Saskatchewan. During her time at St. Thomas More College, a young man bet his friends that he could get Lorna to go on a date with him. John Stack asked and she accepted. They married at St. Joseph Church on August 5, 1961 and raised six children together.
Lorna was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mom and friend. She gave her family so much and many wonderful places, memories and traditions. From spending summers holidays at Jeanette Lake, hiking in Rogers Pass, playing in the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii, to the magic she brought to our Christmas Eve celebration. She made sure we experienced the joys of life together.
She was a wonderful baker and while she did not love it, she was an amazing cook. She loved gardening and her yard was truly beautiful. She loved to buy local art and her home was filled with it. She contributed to her community in many ways, including attending Parkridge Care Home to take the residents to weekly mass. Lorna had great affection for all her friends including Inga Kramer, Pat Keenan, Patty Thompson, and Anne DeCoteau, as well as her cousins Linda Moffat, and Elaine Murray. She loved her cat Pancake very much.
Lorna was preceded in death by her father Cameron Kerr, her mother Kitty Kerr, her brother Don Kerr, her father and mother in law Ambrose and Bertha Stack, and her husband and daughter John and Jennifer Stack, and her cat Pancake. She is survived by her children Caroline (husband Don, children Katherine, Anne, Tom, Elizabeth), Janice (husband Gerard, son William), Robert (wife Marion, son Nicolas), David (wife Andrea, children Jennifer, Andrew, Rebecca), and Marie (husband Darin, girls Rose and Juliet).
The family would like to thank everyone who looked after Lorna so tenderly over these last few months including Cherry, Shella, Home Care, and all the 7th floor and Palliative care staff at St. Paul’s Hospital.
The family will be celebrating the Mass of Christian Burial on a date to be determined. Please join us by livestream. Details of the service date and livestream to be announced at a later date.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Lorna
