Auntie Lorraine will always be remembered as a caring and loving aunt. Her visits to the Pomarensky family in Winnpeg with Uncle Al, and later by herself, were always welcomed.
We were very saddened to hear of her passing and wish to express condolences to the immediate family in London.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, you will be in my thoughts and prayer’s
On behalf of my mother and our family, I would like to extend our deepest sumpathy on Lorraine’s passing.
My mother, Margaret Watson, became a resident of the Dearness Home in August 2010. After spending all her life( 98 yrs) in the small town of Harrow near Windsor Ontario. we had concerns that mother would have difficulty adjusting to her new surroundings. While I live in London, my sister Evelyn lives in Chicago and there are very few relatives or friends in the London area.
Fortunately, mother was assigned a seat in the dining room next to Lorraine. After meeting Lorraine, the family knew we had nothing to worry about concerning mother settling in at Dearness. Right from the start Lorraine took mother under her wing and she continued to help her-making sure she always had a sweater at meals etc.,and like my mother she was a Toronto Blue Jays fan.
Last Christmas, my wife and I had made arrangements to spend the holiday with our daughter and family in Sudbury. We were worried about mother being alone on her first Christmas away from Harrow. When we mentioned our concerns to Lorraine she quickly said “don’t worry, the staff here are very good on Christmas Day and I will be around to make sure she has a good time”
When we visited mother, we always had a nice chat with Lorraine and she provided us with up-to-date information on how mother was doing and if mother had any concerns or needs that she was not sharing with us. She was a good friend to my mother and to our family. She will be greatly missed.
Yours sincerely

On behalf of my family-husband Norm Bannister,son Jonathan Bannister,son Kristian Harris and his wife Cynthia, I would like to express our sorrow at Lorraine’s passing and my gratitude to my sister-in-law Jo-Ann McClinchey for her kindness,support & assistance in this very difficult time.
I wish to offer my condolences to Lorraine’s family.
I am Alan’s youngest half-sister and only met Lorraine when I was very young, but I remember that everyone in my family liked her very much.
My cousin in London sent the newspaper clipping to me in Sechelt, BC. That was much appreciated as I lost touch with many members of my Dobie family long ago.
It sounds like you were fortunate to have had Loraine with you. May you always remember the happy times.
