She was predeceased by her father Laurent Beaumont, June 20, 1970, her mother Berthe Beaumont, July 16, 1996, her grandmother Anna Grandmont, June 30, 1973 as well as many aunts and uncles. Lorraine was the pride and joy of Laurent and Berthe, being their first born. She was also the first granddaughter and niece. Lorraine was married for 35 years. Family was very important to her. She would put others' needs ahead of hers even in her last days. She was a role model for all of her cousins. Lorraine was a true friend. A secret shared with Lorraine remained with her. Special thanks to all of her friends who took the time to visit Lorraine; Vivianne Raiche, Louise Fillion, Evelyn Beaumont, Linda her neighbour Angèle and Raymonde Roy of Québec. Thank you to her cousins, Yvette, Doris, Denise who came to sit with her and keep her company and to all those who visited her in the last two weeks. She greeted everyone with a smile and thank you. Lorraine's working career lasted 26 years for the Province of Manitoba. She first worked in the Department of Mines and Natural Resources and then in Industry, Trade and Tourism. She was a person you could depend on getting the job done right. She trained many new staff on new equipment such as the MagCard and Wang. Lorraine was a person of great Faith.
