<div itemprop="description">USHERWOOD, Lorraine, Winifred (nee Baber) <br /> October 2, 1931 - November 6, 2012 <br /> <br /> It is with great sadness we announce the loss of our loving angel Lorraine, who passed away peacefully at the age of 81 years. <br /> <br /> She is predeceased by her husband George and her parents Fred and Wilhelmina Baber. <br /> <br /> She is survived by her sister, Gertie Moulton from Cranbrook BC; brother, Reginald Baber (Patty) from Olds, AB and two sons: Rick (Lisby) from South Africa and Randy from Edmonton AB. She will be remembered dearly by her granddaughters, her great grandson and numerous nieces, nephews, friends and coworkers. <br /> <br /> Lorraine was born in Saint Boswells, SK and soon after graduating from high school, moved to Regina where she was enrolled at the business college. She began her career at the Workers Compensation Board and later moved to Saskatchewan Power in Regina and during this time she met her soul mate and husband George. After picking up the family and moving to Calgary in 1966, Lorraine worked in Calgary casinos for over fifteen years, until her retirement. She was an accomplished Bridge and Scrabble player and would happily compete with her family at any game and usually won. Lorraine enjoyed solving crosswords, sewing and was known for her photogenic memory. We thank her for all of her love, support, kindness and generosity! <br /> <br /> A Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel of Mountain View Funeral Home on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> Memorial donations in Lorraine Usherwood&rsquo;s name may be made directly to Agape Hospice (1302 - 8 Avenue N.W., Calgary, AB T2N 1B8). <br /> <br /> To forward condolences, please visit our website: www.mountainviewmemorial.ca. <br /> <br /> Arrangements entrusted to Mountain View Memorial Gardens, Funeral Home and Crematorium, 1605-100 Street SE, Calgary, AB Tel: (403) 272-5555 <br /> </div>
