Mrs. Lorna Jean Loomis of Innisfail, Alberta passed away at the Innisfail Health Care Centre on January 20, 2023 at the age of 84 years.
Lorna was born and raised in Bentley, Alberta.

Bill and Lorna raised their two children in the Markerville area. In 1989 she married Stan Loomis and moved to Caroline. In 2004 she moved back to Innisfail where she lived until her passing.
Lorna was very active in the communities where she lived. Her hobbies included reading, knitting, crocheting, quilting, camping and traveling, but when curling started she was found cheering on her favorite teams and discussing the results with her close circle of friends.
