LORRAINE JACKSON
 
   Lorraine Jackson passed away February 18, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer.   She is survived by her sister, Darlene Jackson, nephew Adam Hurtig and niece Katie Hurtig, all of Winnipeg, Manitoba. She loved them all very much and was always there for them, whatever the need or occasion. She was a glowing example of love and family. Auntie was a very special person to them, and they will miss her deeply.   Lorraine was raised in Thunder Bay and had remained close to many of her friends she made growing up there. She was very supported by them, always being encouraged to keep fighting. When she did not have the strength to answer the many texts that she received, her friends never gave up and kept on sending love and support. Darlene, Adam and Katie will forever be grateful to you all for the love and care packages that arrived along with all of your prayers. A very special thanks to Cathy Martin for the many enjoyable times Lorraine was able the share while visiting in Thunder Bay. She always looked forward to sitting outside on the deck, catching up, sharing stories and a bottle of wine.   Thank you to all the staff at CancerCare, the many nurses who always had a smile for her. Her family would also like to thank Dr. Altman who always made her feel she was one of his special patients.   Private interment. A Celebration of Life pending in Thunder Bay at a later date.   In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Lorraine’s memory to CancerCare Manitoba or to the Winnipeg Humane Society.   Wojcik’s Funeral Chapels & Crematoriums, Winnipeg, 2157 Portage Avenue, 204.897.4665 www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com
