May 7th, 2012
It is with great sadness we announce the
peaceful passing of Loreta, our Mom, Grama & Gee Gee. She is survived by
her 2 daughters: Judi Grainger, Collean McCracken & son Ross McClelland
(Gail). She is also survived by amazing grandchildren: Sherri (Doug), Brad
(Valerie) ,Tammy, Tracey (Stacy), Jeff (Siiri) Tara (Mark), Carlee (Laszlo)
Shauna (Tristan), Kelly (Jeff), Chantell.
Her delightful great grandchildren: Allen, Kari, Edward, Breann, Natalie
and Lukas, sister-in-law Ruth as well as many nieces and nephews. Loreta was
predeceased by her husbands Allen & Neil and her son Guy. She was the first
female manager of IGA in Calgary. Mom and Dad moved to Airdrie to open the
Lucky Dollar/Tom Boy store. She was a
member of the Airdrie Legion and volunteered there for years. Square dancing
was a big part of her life and performed in the 88 Olympics. She touched many
with her kindness and will be deeply missed. At Mom’s request there will be a
private family service. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the
charity of your choice.
Messages of condolence may be left for the family.

Wishing your family all the best, as you mourn the loss of Loreta. I feel privileged to have met Loreta, she was a gentle soul with amazing warmth. Her friendship with Mom (Betty Casey) was greatly appreciated. She will be dearly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.
I wanted to send a message to Loreta's family to let you know how sad I am to learn of Loreta's death. I understand she has been suffering and feeling unwell for several months, and that must have been very difficult too. I knew Loreta from her time living at the Condo, across the hall from my Mom, Betty Casey. Thankfully they were able to enjoy a close friendship for the years they lived at the Condo. Your Mom was a very special lady, and will certainly be missed. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Maureen Andre
Sorry to hear to Loreta passed away. We thought of her often. But like always we think instead of acting. And we will miss her dearly..
