In Loving Memory of
Lorraine MacMillan

Obituary of Lorraine MacMillan
Lorraine MacMillanPassed away peacefully at Welland Hospital on May 23, 2021 at the age of 76. Dearly missed by the love of her life of 60 years, David MacMillan. Cherished mother to Brad (Kim) and Heather LeMoine (Darryl). Devoted Nana to Brittany, Holly, Brooke, Zach, and Alex. Lorraine will also be remembered by her many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Lorraine was loving, kind, and embracing of all. Her inner strength and love of life was infectious and will live on in those who knew her. She was well known and endeared at many sports parks throughout her life; whether watching her children, grandchildren or David, her presence will be sorely missed.
Around the holidays she always lit up like a Christmas tree! She was affectionately called “Mrs. Claus”, not only for her festive Santa hat that she would proudly wear, but especially for her enjoyment of giving. She made the holiday season special for everyone.
Lorraine was a devoted and loving Nana. She was incredibly proud of her grandchildren and would beam at the mere mention of their names. She was particularly proud of each of their artistic abilities, deriving great joy surrounding herself with their creations.
Thank you to family and friends for their continued support and well wishes during this time. We also thank Barb and the ‘Housewives of Niagara’ for their kindness in befriending Lorraine and making the move to Niagara Falls incredibly comforting.
Essentials Cremation and Burial Services (905-354-2133) has been entrusted with arrangements. In lieu of flowers, donations to Project Share in Niagara Falls would be greatly appreciated by the family. A memorial service will take place in the future on a date that is yet to be determined. Online condolences may be shared to Lorraine’s tribute page at EssentialsNiagara.com.

I am so sorry for your Lorraine’s passing. She was a gentle lady and always pleasant with my Leela and I I am sure she is meeting with Leela and watching over us from above in the Almighty’s care.
Love to all. May the Almighty give you the strength to bear this irreparable loss.

She was always smiling even when we knew she was in pain and never showed it.l will always remember her when the girls all get together for lunch and we will put our glasses together to celebrate this great lady and lm going to miss her as we all will. Dave and family we send our deepest sympathy to you all in my prayers xo
Dave, we are so shocked to hear of Lorraine’s passing, still getting our heads around it. She was such a wonderful, kind, & loving individual. I’m sure that all who ever met her feel the same.

We can’t even begin to imagine a world without Lorraine. For certain, it will be less bright. Our lunches together will be missing her good humour and her laughter and our trips to N.O.T.L.will never àgain be the same, especially visiting the Butterfly store. She will always be missed by us.
Dave please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family. I still remember the night Archie you and I were at your home making the video and Lorraine had helped with the make up and props. Linda and I wish you the very best.
Sending our love and condolences to you and all the family. Although gone, Lorraine will always be remembered in our hearts. She will be missed dearly.
I met Dave Lorraine and family back in the 90s I was the baby and the last person to join the Tigers. It was a slow pitch league and it was for 35 and over.

Dave I would like to get together when this pandemic is behind us
