Obituary of Lorraine Crawford

Lorraine Crawford 1937 - 2014 It is with great sadness that the family of Lorraine Crawford of Mont Nebo, SK announces her passing on May 28, 2014 at St. Paul's Hospital in Saskatoon at the age of 76. Lorraine was born in Prince Albert, SK on August 27, 1937. She grew up in the Hawkeye District and attended Lynwood School before completing high school in Shell Lake. Lorraine married Arthur Crawford on November 7, 1959 and they raised their five children on their farm near Mont Nebo, SK., where they continued to live until her passing. Many of Lorraine’s favourite pastimes were related to nature. She loved her flowers and to watch birds coming and going from the feeder in front of the kitchen window. She could spend hours sitting and gazing over a lake and was thrilled with trips to the mountains. Most of all, though, she loved being surrounded by her family, her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren. She lived for them and they will miss her dearly. She will be forever loved and remembered by her husband Arthur Crawford of Mont Nebo, her son Clayton Crawford (Sandra) of Edmonton and their children Chelsea, Ashley, and Kyle; her daughter Carolyn Crawford of Shellbrook and her children Matthew (Sara Bosch), Taylor (Bobby Young), Sarra, and Michael; her son Arnold Crawford (Michelle) of Shellbrook, their children Danielle (Sheldon Taylor), Mikaela, Colby, Madison, Cassadie, Dacie, and Anika, and their grandchildren Kyra, Jaela, and Ameya; her daughter Connie Crawford of Shellbrook and her children Jessica (Daniel Herzog) and Riley; and her daughter Laurie Smith (Gerald) of Shellbrook and their children Brayden, Ryan, and Kallie.
