January 4, 1977 – November 27, 2020
In sorrow we announce the passing of our daughter, sister and mother, Lorna Cannon at the age of 43 years.
She is now free after a long, hard fought battle with Wilson’s Disease.
Lorna was born in High River, AB and grew up near Longview, attending Longview School and Oilfields High School. She was passionate in her many interests: gardening, fishing, camping, her music, and was an avid hockey fan. Always a champion for the underdog, she was quick to voice her opinion on any social injustices.
Her failing health forced her to leave her studies in nursing at the University of Calgary for seasonal work in safety, signs and flag work with road construction and paving crews. She worked province-wide for many seasons, making many miles and many friends along the way.
In 2004 Lorna settled in Lundbreck, AB in the little house of her dreams. She loved the whole community where she enjoyed her garden, her cats, and raising her daughter. In 2018 she was hospitalized, then went into long-term care at the Crowsnest Continuing Care Centre in Blairmore, AB amid the Pass mountains that she loved so well.
Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her life is her beloved daughter, Layla; her parents, Lorne and Sheila Cannon; and her brother, Stuart, all of Longview, AB. May Lorna always be remembered for her kind and gentle heart.
At Lorna’s request, no funeral service will be held.
Memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Crowsnest Pass SPCA (PO Box 725, Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0).
