In Loving Memory ~
It is with great sadness to announce Lorrie has passed away at her home in Hardy View Lodge at the age of 80 on May 25, 2023.
She was born in Trail, BC, the daughter of Nick and Mae Hirsch.
In December of 1963 she married the love of her life Riccardo Pavan where they lived in town for a few years before taking over the family farm in 1967.
Lorraine is pre-deceased by her husband Ric (2004), son Brian (2021) and brother Don. She is survived by her sons Darren (Rachel), Allan (Marina), Nick, daughter Pamela (Denis) and sister Nicki Sopow.
Lorraine was passionate about her career as a nurse at Boundary Hospital for over 30 years. Blessed with the closeness of the farming community, farm life, the love of fall fairs, beauty of Christmas, watching a good thunderstorm roll across the farmlands or riding her motorbike to Vancouver.
After 8 years of Dialysis, Lorrie had finally had enough and passed away peacefully with her family by her side. She will be remembered for her honesty and smile, her courage, strength and determination, and her enduring love for her family.
Always Blessed Mom, we will miss you dearly. The last goodbye is the hardest one to say!
A special thank you to the nurses and doctors at Hardy View Lodge and the renal team.
Donations can be made in Lorrie's honour to the Schizophrenia Association or to Mental Health.
A Celebration of Life will be held August 12th at 3:00 pm at the family cabin. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Baker Family of Grand Forks Funeral Home gffh@shaw.ca
