Surrounded by her adoring family, and with her husband holding her hand, Lorraine Alison White (nee Leckie) left us at sunrise on November 15, 2022.
Born in Vancouver May 25, 1957, to Lorne (d. 1982) and Doreen Leckie, and grew up in Lynn Valley.
Survived by the love of her life Brian (married 38 years), son David (Ian), daughters Andrea (John) and Kimberley (Chris), mother Doreen, brother Steven, granddaughters Abigail, Kayley, Erika, Mia, and Isla, and her dog Bailey.
Lorraine was beautiful inside and out. She travelled, shopped, and decorated. She drank wine and ate Italian food. Lorraine loved everyone in her world, and believed any hardship could be helped by a sense of humour. One could not resist smiling when seeing her face. Our hearts hurt without her, but are comforted by remembering the good times together.
We have immense gratitude for the incredible nurses, doctors, and staff at BC Cancer-Victoria, Royal Jubilee Hospital, the VIHA Palliative Care Response Team, and Victoria Hospice.
A Celebration of Life was held in the Sequoia Centre, at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, on Thursday, November 24, 2022, at 2:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Myeloma Research Group, Victoria Hospice, or the SPCA.

I was so blessed to have gotten to know Lorraine over the last few years, and to experience the immense amount of love she had for everyone all around her, especially her family. She lived a life full of love and adventure, and her spirit will live on with those who knew and loved her.
