Lorna DANIEL Obituary
April 5, 1959 - July 10, 2017
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lorna Daniel in Leduc, Alberta on July 10, 2017.
Lorna is survived by her husband Ashley Daniel; stepson Teak Daniel and his wife Ji Sun Moon; granddaughter Yuni Daniel; mother Hazel Rogers; sisters Andrea, Angella and Colleen; brother George; nieces Carle, Candace, Brianna and Elise; nephews Jesse, Hal, Patrick and Frederik; and a very cherished grandnephew Tyson. She was daughter-in-law to Eleuta Fraser and Uriah Daniel; and sister-in-law to Aldwin Peters, Ainsley Daniel, Ainsworth Daniel, Isadora Daniel and Zipporah Sealy.
Lorna was born in Jamaica to Hazel and Hal Rogers, and was predeceased by her father, grandparents and five uncles. She leaves to mourn many aunts, cousins and other extended family and friends. Lorna was an avid sports fan and enjoyed running, swimming and dragon boat racing. She enjoyed travelling to many parts of the world with her husband and family. Lorna worked as a corporate paralegal with Lucas Bishop and Edwards (now DLA Piper) and finished her career at Duncan Craig LLP. She also taught hundreds of area paralegals at Grant MacEwan. Lorna will be greatly missed.
A Celebration of Lorna's life will be officiated by Reverend Susan Ormsbee at St. Paul's Anglican Church, 4416 – 50 Street, Leduc, AB on Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. Walk good Lorna.

I got to know Lorna many years ago working at Lucas Bowker. I will forever remember that wonderful, warm smile of hers. She truly was an angel among us. It was so sad to hear of her passing. My prayers are with her family at this most difficult time.

Dear Ashley,
I hold in my mind a clear imaging of Lorna singing out a cheery hello to me from the upper level of Manulife. A biright star, an intelligent mind, a loving personality, a thoughtful and caring person has left us behind to remember and miss her. Breathe deeply, Ashley, and take in all the loving hugs sent your way. Thinking of you and sending caring thoughts.

Ashley, I was half blind for almost a year when my first husband passed through the western doorway. It tore at my soul and I did not know him half the years you loved your beautiful Lorna. I have spoken to Yves and asked him to look for sweet Lorna to welcome her back to the spirit world. I will find you when the time is right. Accept the love around you and hold on tight!

I am so sorry to hear of Lorna's passing. Lorna was my instructor for Corporate Procedures in which role she was exceptional. She provided her students with the skills we would need to complete the work in a law office. More importantly, she provided us with an exemplary role model of a legal assistant professional. In later years, I had the opportunity to work with her as a colleague at, then, Grant MacEwan College and was thrilled to work with her as a professional but also to get to know her personally. She was always dedicated, optimistic, and kind. She was greatly missed when she left the College to focus on her law firm work.
My thoughts and prayers are with her friends and loved ones. Please know that she will be remembered.

Hazel, I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely Lorna. I did not know her, but remember well when you and Hal arrived in Worsley where we were teachers, to begin a new life. I remember, too, the tragic passing of Hal and have never forgotten the sacrifices your made for your children. From the messages I have read, you have done very well to have raised such a fine daughter. My heart goes out to you at this time, Hazel, and to all the family.

Ashley, I am so pleased that I was able to attend yesterday's Celebration of Lorna's Life. It was lovely and touching in all respects. I very much admired Lorna. She was a wonderful colleague at our old Firm of Lucas, Bishop & Fraser, and I treasured her friendship during all of the years thereafter. Sincere best wishes to you, and to all of the members of Lorna's remarkable extended Family. Don Bishop

Lorna was a compassionate and graceful person that I have met. She taught me Corporate Law at Grant MacEwan (MacEwan University) in the Legal Assistant Program. She was admired by all of the staff and students. Her dedication to the law field was inspiring. She was so loved by everyone.
You have left a legacy of professionalism, smarts and grace for us all to follow.
Lorna, may you rest in peace. You are in God's hands now.
Blessings to all of your family!

Lorna, you were such a fun friend and neighbour. I remember watching soap operas with you (and your Mom)and playing restaurant in your basement. You were a great guard in basketball to play along side with. What a talented runner and flag football player you were! You touched my life with warmth, compassion, and laughter. You will fit in perfectly with all the angels in heaven.

Dear Ashley, Mrs. Rogers, George, Andrea, Angella, Colleen and families,
I was so deeply saddened to hear of Lorna's passing. I have many fond memories of her - from childhood when she took piano lessons from my mother, to young adulthood, when Lorna, Jan, Val and I would go out as a 'foursome'. Whether it was to a movie or just driving around Leduc on a Friday night, those were happy times always filled with a lot of laughter!
I have not seen Lorna in many years, but thanks to her brother George, a few years ago I was fortunate enough to have a brief chat with her over the phone. She was the same old Lorna - kind, positive, enthusiastic about life, great sense of humour, and there was still the laughter. Lorna had such a beautiful, joyful, infectious laugh!
The world has lost a very bright spirit. My deepest and heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you and I hope you find comfort and peace in your many loving memories of her.
Love,
Lois
