A family graveside service will be held at a later date.
Lorna was born Nov 29th, 1928 near Fairlight, SK to the late Edward (Ted) and Yvonne (nee Cardin) Kennedy. Lorna met, then married her husband Douglas George Welch in Redvers, SK in 1953. Over the course of their 64 year marriage they lived in Redvers, Summerberry, Bengough and Indian Head, had 4 children, 6 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Lorna was a wonderful sister, daughter, wife, mother, homemaker, baker, grandmother and great grandmother. Lorna’s greatest passion was her family but she could also play a mean game of cards, loved curling and yelling Bingo!
She is survived by her husband Doug, her children Shelly, Gregory (Betty), Kevin (Bev) and Darren Welch, her grandchildren Trevor (Holly) Rettman, Melissa (Corey) Johnson, Colton (Kara), Jordan (Connie) and Daniel (Tiffany) Welch, her great grandchildren Cutlass and Cruiz Johnson and Jayden Welch.
She is preceded in death by her siblings Shirley Pattison, Pat Ogilvie, Vaughan and Roland Kennedy and her grandson Travis Rettman.
Lorna fought a long battle with Alzheimer’s but will always be remembered by those who loved her for her big heart, quick wit, sense of humor and those snapping brown eyes. It will be just a short while before we meet again!
In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire contributions may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, 301 – 2550- 12th. Ave., Regina SK S4P 3X1 as tokens of remembrance.
