Passed on

Strachan, Lorna Jean (Porteous) August 25, 1928 – Woodlands, MB March 25, 2017 – Calgary, AB

Lorna Strachan, beloved wife of the late Douglas Strachan of Calgary, AB, passed away on March 25, 2017 at the age of 88 years. Mom passed peacefully in her 88th year surrounded by family at her home in Calgary, AB.

Cherished mother of Vicki and Linda (Grant). Adored Grandmother of Doug (Karen), Sheri (Barry), Andy (Alison) and Jeff. Great-Grandchildren Kyle, Alex, Darian, Dusty, Dalten, Claire, Cooper, Clark and Wilson. Survived by sister Peggy (Frank). She will be sadly missed by nieces and nephews.

Mom spent the last 15 years living close to family in Calgary. She and Dad loved watching the family grow (near and far) and helped nurture them into kind and loving people that they loved beyond words. Prior to that, her life started in Woodlands, MB until she married Dad in 1949. From that time until 2001, they lived in Marquette, MB where she raised her family. She was devoted to her church and was quick to reach out to help anyone who needed it. She was an avid curler and loved participating in the sport at the Marquette curling rink and other rinks in the area.

Mom’s kindness, support and love over her lifetime makes us very proud to have had her with us as long as we did. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by her family, friends and all who knew her.

Lorna was predeceased by her loving husband of 55 years Douglas and her sister Eraine (Tom).

Funeral service will be held on Friday, April 7, 2017 at 2:00 P.M. at the Meadow Lea Hall. Rev. James Bardsley officiating.
