Lorraine McNally

Lorraine, A great friend to many, a compassionate and empathetic woman, a woman who embodied grace and passion, who was a woman of integrity who espoused equity and who was incredibly principled and believed in treating everyone with respect and kindness.

Lorraine had an insatiable desire for academia and knowledge and had an energy and wonder for and to understand life.

A mother, a beautiful soul and a woman who accomplished her dreams and left an indelible mark on individuals and the world.

Take shelter from the rain and look upon us all with your humour and immense understanding.

Loved and missed daily and greatly.

How special are we
to have known thee.
How you lived your life
guided by kindness and compassion.
You were a rare one
And yes, you may be gone
But never forgotten.
How you lived with so much energy
And inspired so many
As you followed your own feet
And danced to your own beat
And you had your dreams
But life is short, so it seems
But you fought fiercely and proudly
How lucky are we
To have known thee
So shine on from above
Our angel in the sky
We will go on with your love
As we say goodbye
