Mrs. Lorraine Anne Sanderson

June 18, 1932 – July 17, 2

Beloved wife, mother, nana, aunt and friend Lorraine Anne Sanderson died peacefully surrounded by her family on Monday, July 17, 2023, at the age of 91. Lorraine was predeceased by her husband Roy D.G. Sanderson. She is survived by her children Kathy (Phil Scott), Julie (Colin Milner), Cheryl (Martin Burian), and Greg (Sue Sanderson). Her greatest pride and joy are her four grandchildren Lauren Burian, Cameron Burian, Ayden Sanderson and Axel Sanderson.

Throughout her life Lorraine had a wide circle of friends from her varied interests and activities including; bridge, golf, gardening, cross country skiing, her pals “The bus ladies” and music, especially the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the Music in the Morning Society. Lorraine was a sports fan and enjoyed watching her children and later her grandchildren participate in swimming, soccer, hockey, lacrosse, rugby and basketball. She keenly followed the Olympics, professional golf, football and hockey. Lorraine enjoyed travel, including her golf trips to South Africa and Australia.

An Alzheimer's diagnosis 12 years ago did not diminish her naturally positive nature and, while her memory faded, her joy for life remained. Lorraine's was a life well lived.

A Celebration of Life to honour her will be held on Thursday, August 3rd from 2-:00 pm - 5:00 pm at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, 3811 Point Grey Rd. in Vancouver.

Everyone is welcome to attend the celebration of life.

For those wishing to, a donation in her name can be made to the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia.
