LORRAINE ANNE SMITH

September 23, 2025

Lorraine Anne Smith, formerly of Huron Township, died Sept. 23, 2025, after a battle with cancer, at the age of 64. She will be greatly missed by her siblings, Leonard and Liz Smith, Carl Shaw, Keith Shaw and Pat and John Kane. Predeceased by her sisters, Joan Sauve and Elaine Emmerton; and parents, John and Alta Smith. Lorrainne grew up with her twin brother, Leonard, on the home farm on the 8th Concession of Huron Township where they participated in many shenanigans over the years. She worked for a time in the service industry in Kincardine, but then headed for London to train. She spent many years working in the insurance industry, where everyone appreciated her hard work, as well as her sense of humour. Over the years, she spent a great deal of time entertaining her many nieces and nephews, Jackie, Shane, Richard, John, Holly, Trevor, Crystal, Julie, Pam, Mike, Tyler, Matthew, Jenna, Blake, Jake, Tanesha, and Cooper; and several great-nieces and -nephews. She could always make us laugh, even in her last days in the hospital. Lorrainne was always ready with a caring, listening ear and spent many hours on the phone with everyone in the family helping to solve all of life’s problems. She kindly took on many of us as roommates at various times over the years, for long and short periods of time, and helped send us on the next phases of our lives. She made a positive impact on her family and friends which will never be forgotten. A private graveside service will be held at the Ripley Cemetery. Donations to the Kincardine Food Bank or the charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated as expressions of sympathy; arrangements entrusted to the MacKenzie and McCreath Funeral Home, Ripley.
