LORRAINE BECKETT Obituary

LORRAINE BECKETT It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Lorraine on October 4, 2015 after a courageous battle with cancer, in her 69th year. Beloved wife of Ross, her husband of 50 years. Loving mother of Lynne (Rob) and Terry (Glenda) and proud grandmother to Mackenzie, Mariah, Brandon, Kaylin and Shayla. Predeceased by sister Joyce and fondly remembered by siblings Don, Laverne, Betty and Janet. She dedicated her life to her family, providing strength, guidance and unconditional love.

Special thanks to Dr. Hajra, nurses Vera, Deb, Carolyn and Cindy for their care and compassion. Family and friends will be received at the Dixon-Garland Funeral Home, 166 Main Street North (Markham Road), Markham, on Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Service will be held in the Chapel on Thursday at 11 a.m. Interment Bethesda Lutheran Cemetery.

So sorry for the loss of such a beautiful & kind woman. I remember Lorraine from our stained glass classes, she was always so supportive & encouraging. She was also very kind to me when I was on my own sad journey with the loss of my husband Jamie almost two years ago. They are both at peace now - but still, so sad for those of us who are left to mourn. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.
