Lorie and Myrl left Huntsville to begin their Mitchell, ON adventure in 1986, with their daughters by their side, and Tim later completing the family. Lorie's pizza expertise led her to run the local pizza place, where she formed lasting bonds with her employees and customers. After years of dedication, she pursued a new passion as a PSW, using her empathetic approach to create a positive impact on her clients' lives and leave a lasting legacy of care and compassion.
Lorie's love knew no bounds as she poured her heart and soul into her role as Nana to her grandkids and great-kids. She shared her home with several cats and a dog, showering them with affection over the years. Lorie's unwavering support for her children was a testament to her devotion as a parent. During the final three years of her soulmates life, Lorie's love and care for him never faltered as she stood by him throughout his courageous fight against cancer.
An angel lived among us, A gift from God above. She showered us with kindness And shared with us her love. She cherished every moment with the man who was her life, Walking hand in hand together once again. She loved her children dearly, Each one a different way, Nestled close within her heart. Though, now, she's far away. She's gone to live with Jesus. But, she's here with us, today, Smiling down on every one of us, And telling us she's O.K.
