Lorraine Gloria Gillett

She will be deeply missed by her children Stephen and Deb Gillett of Woodstock, Scott and Karen Gillett of Burlington, and Heather and Gary Haggett of Cambridge. She was the devoted and cherished Grammy of Sara and Samuel Haggett, both of Cambridge. Dearly loved sister of Doreen Courts of Appin, and sister-in-law of Norman Courts, Gordon Rodwell and Ivy Ingold. She is also survived by cousins, nieces and nephews.

She has been reunited in Heaven with her dearly loved husband Stanley Gillett, her best friend and mother Violet Miller, her stepfather Kenneth Miller, her sister Esther Rodwell, and her brothers LeRoy and Samuel Ingold.

Lorraine was a resident of St. Andrew's Terrace in Cambridge where she sang in the choir, performed with the chimes, played bingo, put together puzzles, played euchre, loved movie night, and enjoyed many other social activities and outings. She enjoyed her time there with her many wonderful friends, both residents and staff members, including some incredible volunteers. She will be dearly missed by everyone at St. Andrew's Terrace and those she knew from Riverbend Place, her former neighbourhood in Preston, and many friends and neighbours from Golspie and Woodstock.

Lorraine worked as a registered nurse at Woodstock General Hospital and then later at Woodingford Lodge in Woodstock. She also served on the Woodstock Fair Board for many years. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Woodstock. She was a long-time member of Woodstock North Women's Institute and Tenth Line Ladies, and also served a variety of roles on the executives of both groups. Over the years she worked and served with a variety of church groups through First Baptist Church and the United Church. She was proud to have earned a lifetime membership in the United Church of Canada due to her volunteer involvement in many groups connected to them.

Lorraine's family would like to thank the staff of St. Andrew's Terrace for all of their love and care over the last few years, the staff of Cambridge Memorial Hospital who made Lorraine as comfortable as possible and met her needs, and our family and friends who have offered love and support to us during this sad time.

Due to current restrictions connected to COVID-19 there will be a Celebration of Life for Lorraine at a later date.
