MARY "LORNA" LORENA FOX (nee MORROW) On Wednesday, October 23, 2002, Lorna Fox passed away at Deer Lodge Centre at the age of 87 years. Lorna was from a family of ten, she had eight sisters and one brother. She was born and grew up in the town of Melita, MB where she worked until moving to Winnipeg. She met and went on to marry Winston Fox. Winston became a prisoner of war in Hong Kong during the Second World War. With the early demise of her husband "Lorna", as she was always called, became a single parent, working and raising hers and Wints two sons, Ron and Gerry. She worked steadily throughout her life, her last place of employment being Sears Canada in the pictures and lamps department. Lorna was involved with several associations, but the nearest and dearest to her heart was the Hong Kong Veterans association of Canada, followed by the Canadian Institute for the Blind. She was also a lifelong member of Harrow United Church. Before the loss of her sight, Lorna participated in as many events as possible including travel. She was able, along with other Hong Kong Associates, to visit China and Hong Kong in memory of her husband, a legacy she leaves with us. "She lived a life full of dignity and grace She leaves us with a lifetime of grace and dignity." Predeceased by her husband, she leaves to celebrate her life and mourn her passing, her two sons, Ron and Gerry; Janet, Laura and Ben; and sisters, Evelyn and Bernice; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
