Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryLORRAINE LAPORTE Lorraine Mary-Jane (Berthelette) Laporte, in her 84th year, passed away peacefully at Pine Falls General Hospital on Friday, February 3, 2017, with many of her children nearby. Mass of Resurrection to be celebrated at 1:00 p.m. - beginning with the Rosary at 12:30 p.m., on Saturday, February 11, 2017 at Notre Dame du Laus Roman Catholic Church in Powerview, MB. Lorraine was born at Transcona, Manitoba on November 10, 1932. From a young age, Lorraine had an unwavering faith and love for Jesus. As a young girl, she attended mass faithfully and often talked of her family taking the boat across the river to go to church. Lorraine's faith and love for Jesus transcended throughout her lifetime. As a mother, Lorraine wanted her children to be raised in faith and to know Jesus. A devout Catholic Lorraine took her children to mass faithfully, ensured they attended Catechism classes and received their sacraments. Asked at 83 years of age what Lorraine felt her purpose in life was, she responded "to bring her children back to God". In later years, Lorraine enjoyed singing with the church choir and being part of the Eucharist Ministry visiting and bringing communion to the sick. Lorraine's spiritual gift was prayer. No matter where she was before meals she would bow her head in prayer. Lorraine belonged to the Prayer Group. When prayers were needed for someone Lorraine would receive a call asking her to pray. Lorraine's devotion to prayer was praying the Rosary every morning when she awoke and every evening before she went to sleep. Lorraine had a thirst for the Word of God. She read her Bible every morning along with her daily readings. Wherever Lorraine travelled she would bring her Bible and daily readings with her. Her family would chuckle because her Bible and daily readings would take up half of her suitcase. Lorraine left to mourn her beloved family: Chris Laporte and his daughters and families: Lorraine Laporte (Les Miyazawa), son Joel; Elaine Askin (Rob), daughter Christine (Kevin); and Marie Laporte. Children of Lorraine and Hubert and their families: Jacqueline Boehm (Edward), children: Justin (Bonnie-Lynne), daughters: Samantha and Justyne; Christopher Boehm and daughter Brooklyn; April Quilty (Mat), children: Ashlynn and Carter.

Ahhh, My Auntie Lorraine, I was so proud to call her my auntie. We loved her so much. She was a lady of deep faith. She cared deeply and was a great mother, sister, aunt and friend to everyone who crossed her path. Now she's in the wind, the rain, she's in the air you breathe with every breath you take. She signs her song of Hope and Cheer, there's no more pain, no more fear. We'll see her in the clouds above, hear her whisper of words and love.. We'll all be together before long, until then, listen to her song. "PERHAPS THEY ARE NOT STARS, BUT RATHER OPENINGS IN HEAVEN WHERE THE LOVE OF OUR LOST ONES POURS THROUGH AND SHINES DOWN UPON US TO LET US KNOW THEY ARE VERY HAPPY"..We love you Auntie Lorraine and we will miss you very much. We know that God was there in Heaven to greet youwith open arms, as well as lots of family and friends waiting .. Goodbye for now..With Lots of Love, Patsy and Philip - Posted by: Patsy & Philip Johnston (Niece) on: Feb 11, 2017
