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


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 ~ Maureen Andre


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. ~ Kathleen Henning
