September 29, 2024
It is with deep sadness that we share that our Dearest Mom peacefully left us on September 29, 2024 at the age of 92.
A beloved Mother, Sister, Grandmother and Aunt to many. Lorraine was the youngest of four children to Arthur and Grace Binns of Burnaby. She is survived by her sister Flo Stewart and predeceased by her brother Keith and sister Doreen. Lorraine is survived by her sons Dave (Kathy), Craig (Nancy), daughters Wendy and Carol-Ann, grandchildren Jennifer (Jamie), Jeremy, Mike, Dianne and Brad. Great Grandchildren Jonas and Skylar.
Mom's proudest accomplishment in life were her 4 children whom she loved more than words could ever say. Right until her last few days, she couldn't tell us enough how much
she loved each one of us. She always loved it when she could have her 4 children all together.
Mom worked for Canada Safeway for over 30 years and had so many customers that absolutely loved her that they would wait in a big lineup so they could see her and her beautiful smile. She won many Awards in her career for outstanding service at Safeway. She had a gift of warmth and kindness that so many were drawn to and blessed by her presence.
After her retirement in 1992, she enjoyed travelling with her dear friend and partner Ed. They enjoyed many trips to Hawaii, Mexico and parts of the USA. They also loved going every summer for many years to her cottage at Lindell Beach, Cultus Lake. In the winter time she enjoyed many years attending an Aquatic Fit Program with lots of her friends.
The family wishes to thank all the staff at The Mayfair Senior Living especially the angels on North 2 for the amazing care they provided, loving our mom like their own in her last year of life.
You will always and forever be in our hearts Dear Mom with all the wonderful memories we share! We Love you so much!
