LORI LEE ANNE BERGERON
September 11, 1965 - June 17, 2022

On Friday, June 17, 2022 in Cochrane, Alberta, Lori Bergeron peacefully passed away, surrounded by family, after living with metastatic breast cancer for a number of years.
Lori was born to Frank and Pearl LaPlante (Weir) in the fall of 1965 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Lori spent many happy times at the family farm near San Clara, MB, and at her grandparents' home in Roblin, MB. Her childhood was filled with fun times with friends and family and she participated in many activities including sports and recreation.
In 1987, Lori graduated from the St. Boniface Hospital School of Nursing and then worked in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. After four years of working as a registered nurse, she decided it was time explore more of the world through travel nursing. Just prior to leaving Canada, Lori began a relationship with her future husband, Paul Bergeron. They married in Toronto in 1993 and continued to live in Florida where their daughter Arielle was born. From there, after a brief stint in Texas, they returned to Canada where their son Raymond was born.
Lori enjoyed working as a NICU and Operating Room nurse at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, AB. She volunteered with community sports organizations in Cochrane, AB, while she and Paul raised their children and operated Mountain View Helicopters, first with partner Richard Alzetta by their side and later with Curtis and Ashleigh Nadon.
Lori is survived by her husband of 28 years, Paul, daughter Arielle, and son Raymond; siblings, their spouses and children: Garth LaPlante (Elizabeth, Nicholas, Alexa and Elenna); Evelyn LaPlante (Juan); Grant LaPlante (Beverly and Sarah); brothers-in-law: Glen Bergeron (Valerie, Erin and Bryan); Ken Bergeron (David and Tammy); mother-in-law Florence Bergeron; stepmother Bernice LaPlante; and numerous cousins. She was predeceased in death by her parents, Frank and Pearl LaPlante; father-in-law Lucien Bergeron; grandparents, and several uncles and aunts.
During the last few years Lori appreciated the quality time she was able to spend relaxing with family and friends at the lake in Manitoba, in California, in Mexico, and around the Cochrane area. The forest and the lake were her happy places. She felt grounded and at peace when among the trees or near the water.
Share your stories of remembrance at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at the Cochrane RancheHouse (located at 101 RancheHouse Road). As always, dress code is casual (you might want to go for a walk).
