OLIPHANT, Lorraine Velma - Peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on May 4, 2006, Lorraine Oliphant, in her 74th year. Beloved wife of 56 years to Albert. Loving mother of Albert (Rebecca), and Keith (Heather). Dear gramma of Matthew, Aaron, Spencer and Curtis. Dear sister-in-law of Eileen (Bob), Eleanor (Johnny), Delores (Bill), Lorraine, Carol, and Sherrylyn. Predeceased by her mother Velma, brothers Victor and Bob, brother-in-law Ken (Bernice), and sister-in-law Doreen.
My fondest memory of my Aunt goes back to August of 1977. My parents where in Europe, veiwing the great sites. My sister Cherlyanne and I, the two youngest children had the opportunity to visit the country side for the month.
My Uncle and Aunt where great hosts, offering plenty of stimulation for your average seven and eleven year olds at and around their Binbrook, Ontario home. I worked on a paint by numbers picture of a horse that they bought for me with the intensity of one of the great masters. A "great job" was all I needed, I think I kept that "treasure" for years later as a momento of that summer.
To most August 1977 was the year the "King" died, and I remember the shock on everyone's face. For me it was the summer of watching Beretta, summer thunder storms and my Aunt and Uncle.
Memories are forever and those of that summer and every day spent in the company of my Aunt Lorraine will forever be remembered.
Thank you, and serve the lord well.
Kendall
