It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Lorna on Sunday, January 6, 2019 in her 80^th year.

She will be missed by her grandchildren Rebecca (Chris), Benjamin (Katie) and Patrick (Heather) Younge; CJ (Megan), Jake and Tanner Porteous; Lindsay and Robert Abercrombie; Katie and Grace Younge. She will also be remembered by great-grandchildren Lochlan and Callum Stevens.

Raised in the township of Thorne, she was swept off her feet by R.L. and they settled in Clarendon, Quebec. Lorna was the secretary-treasurer of the Clarendon Council for 32 years. She had a great interest in family history and played a major role in organizing the Bretzlaff Family Reunions. She had a passion for gardening and cooking and earned many ribbons from the Shawville Fair to attest to her skill at both.
