Surrounded by loving family members, she passed away peacefully at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in the early hours of November 26 at the age of 85 years.

Lorraine’s greatest joy was sharing life with Frank, her loving husband, with whom she spent 74 wonderful years, 67 of them as a married couple. They went on many trips and enjoyed spending time together and with family at their summer home on Shuswap Lake.

Lorraine will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
