Lorraine was always helping others in her community. Her volunteer work at Chartland Junior Public School, Scarborough Grace Hospital, Agincourt Civitan Club, The March of Dimes, and Bowmanville Memorial Hospital Foundation brought her great joy. Her kindness, generosity, and love of family and friends will be remembered by all who knew her.
