It is with great sadness our family says goodbye to our beloved daughter, wife, mother and sister, Lorraine Rankin (Ell). Lorraine was predeceased by her father, Joseph and her brother Kelly. She leaves to mourn her husband Kevin, sons Nathan, Jeremy, Justin, and daughter Sydney, as well as her mother Florence, sisters Joanne (Terry), Gloria (Larry), and brother Gordon (Tiffany), along with numerous nieces, nephews, and large extended family. After a courageous battle with cancer, Lorraine passed away peacefully on Friday, June 23rd. at the age of 51. Lorraine was born in Regina and raised on the family farm near Kronau, Sk. She moved to Regina and met many amazing people through her work. Family and friends are invited to share in a celebration of Lorraine’s life on the evening of Thursday June 29th at Holy Child Parish (2636 7th Ave E, Regina) at 5:00 pm with interment to follow at St. Peter’s R.C Cemetery just outside of Kronau, Sk.
The family would like to thank all who supported them through this difficult time, and a special thank you to the Regina Palliative Care Unit at the Pasqua Hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kronau Curling Club in memory of Lorraine.
