Lorna Clogg Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Apr. 8 to Apr. 9, 2010.
CLOGG , Lorna Alexander (nee Forin) May 20, 1930 - April 4, 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Lorna A. Clogg on April 4, 2010 after a brief illness. Born in Montreal on May 20, 1930, Lorna was a graduate of Montreal General Hospital School of Nursing. Mum and Dad had many happy years in Montreal, at the farm in Knowlton, spent three adventurous years in Kenya and then headed west to Calgary. In addition to being a devoted wife and raising her five children, Mum thrived on volunteerism and serving the communities she lived in. Some of the many organizations she was involved with include the Junior League and Centraide in Montreal, the Nairobi National Museum, and the Children's Hospital Aid Society and the Samaritan Club in Calgary. Mum was a generous, giving, strong, optimistic and caring person. She made friends easily, putting young and old at ease. We admired her, learned from her and will truly miss her. She was predeceased by her husband of fifty-one years, Dr. Donald Clogg. She was a wonderful mother to Karen (Dave) of Kitchener, Susan (Richard) of Calgary, Nancy (Bruce) of Victoria, Donald (Clara) of Montreal and L.J. (Rick) of Ottawa. She was the much loved "Do" of Scott, Stephanie, Jill, Mark and Brian Hastings and Devon Viau and cherished Grandma of Stephen and Kim Price, Michael and Christine Clogg. A Celebration of Lorna's Life will be held on Saturday, April 10 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Alberta Children's Hospital Theatre, Fourth Floor, 2888 Shaganappi Trail N.W., Calgary, AB T3B 6A8 (Telephone 403-955-8818). Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com . In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Children's Hospital Aid Society, P.O. Box 900, Station M, Calgary, T2P 2M7 or to the "Dr. Don Clogg Memorial Fund" c/o Alberta Children's Hospital, 2888 Shaganappi Trail N.W., Calgary, T3B 6A8. Please share memories of Lorna by emailing her family at [email protected].

To all Aunt Lorna's family,
Aunt Lorna was always my favourite aunt. How lucky you were to have such a warm and loving mum. I was so glad that I had the opportunity to spend time with her in Calgary over the past few years. Both Sara and Kenneth enjoyed getting to know her very much. Kenneth will drop by today for all of us. My thoughts are with you all. We will all miss her greatly.

To the family of Lorna Clogg. I am one of the nurses that worked with your dad at the ACH emerg department. I remember your mom as a warm and caring person,who would call in the evenings to see if you dad had eaten his supper and say thank you dear for taking care of him. I will remember her with lovely thoughts. Arlene Hay

To the families of Lorna Clogg. I wish to extend to you all my deepest sympathy. Lorna was a long time neighbour and a good friend. I could always call on her anytime just to talk or have her pick up the odd item when she was out shopping. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

LJ, Rick and Devon,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mum (and Devon - your Grandma) sounds like she was an amazing lady...not surprising knowing how special her daughter is. Our sincere sympathy.

Growing up next door to the Cloggs on Ballantyne Avenue in Montreal West, I have wonderful memories of Lorna Clogg. She exuded warmth and good cheer, made frothy orange juice in a blender, and -- when Nancy threatened to run away one day -- offered to call her a taxi. When Nancy told me this, I flat out didn't believe her. So I asked Lorna (Mrs. Clogg to me), and she confirmed the tale, explaining that calling the taxi would ensure both Nancy's safety and Lorna's capacity to know where she was. That clinched it: I concluded that Lorna Clogg was loving, beautiful AND brilliant. My deepest sympathies to Nancy, Susan, Karen, Donnie and LJ.

LJ, I never knew your Mom, except through your stories. I am so sorry for the sadness you, Devon and Rick are feeling now. I wish I could be at the celebration of your Mom's life. Instead, next time we meet tell me all about it. I hope that your memories of her will be comforting.
Love, Cheryl

Dear Clogg family,
Your Mum was such a lovely woman and I count myself as lucky to have known her. Everyone here loved her for her smile, her warmth, her engaging personality and her love of caring for others. We are thinking of you all at this time.
Warm regards, Sheelagh and all the staff at the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation.
