It is with great sadness and heavy hearts, we the family regret to announce the passing of our mother, sister, niece, aunt and friend, Lorraine Anne Boutilier (Comeau) 65 of Halifax on February 11th, 2021. Born in Yarmouth County, she was the daughter of the late Elizeè and Georgina (Deveau) Comeau.
After growing up in Mavillette and Digby, she spent a lot of her childhood at the Mavillette Beach with her family. Lorraine was a CCA with Canadian Red Cross for over 10 years and a member of the Ladies Auxiliary, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 90, Waverley, and the Clan Lamont Society of Canada. She enjoyed walking, traveling with friends and site seeing. She was a wealth of knowledge, an avid reader, and loved her search and finds, crosswords and coloring.
She was always happy to share a cup of tea, and a laugh, and if you missed a date, she held you to it. She made friends where ever she went, including bus stops and always carried those people with her. She loved phone chats with her children and playing games with her grandsons who affectionately called her “Nana B”. Even when times were tough, she always looked on the bright side and was laughing. In some circles she was known “famously” as “Marilyn Munroe”.
Lorraine is survived by her Son Jason Boutilier (Mercedez), Daughter Ashley Boutilier-Collins (Taylor), Brothers, Arthur Deveau, James Comeau (Donna) Joseph Comeau (Kathy), Gerry Comeau, David Comeau (Charlene) and her two grandsons Sondyn and Skylar Lavoie Boutilier, as well as many other family and friends.
The family would like to thank the staff at Arborstone Enhanced Care and the Dialysis unit at the QEII Halifax for the compassion and care shown to her over the years. A private service will be held with her family at a later date. Memorial donations can be made in Lorraine’s name to Diabetes Canada or The War Amps Canada.
