LORRAINE DAPHNE SUTHERLAND (née BUDD) It is with sincere and heartfelt sadness that we the daughters of Lorraine Sutherland announce her peaceful passing at home on February 14, 2017 surrounded by the love of her family. Born in Kenora, Ontario to Robert and Laura Budd she moved to Winnipeg after the passing of her own mother in 1938 to live with her grandmother and cousins. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters Donna (Mark) Edwards, Kim Sutherland and Laurie (John) Kuivenhoven; four grandsons Michael Martens (Kristin), Daniel Edwards (Shelley), Shaun Kuivenhoven (Heather) and David Kuivenhoven; great-grandchildren Savanna Martens, Morgan and Jordyn Edwards, Olivia and Luuk Kuivenhoven and family "The Grants", "The Ingrams", "The Peabodys", "The Sinnotts" and "The Sutherlands". Mom met our dad Bob Sutherland through his sister and best friend growing up, Margaret. They became sisters through marriage, and maintained their friendship throughout their lives. Many years of family picnics, camping and parties at "the lake" followed. One of her greatest gifts to us was emphasising the importance of family, we are never alone, whether traveling to Regina for our "Sinnott" visits or picnicking at Kildonan Park all provided love, support and memories of joy and family. She loved old time country music but had a special love for the bagpipes, often played by our grandfather Neal Sutherland or a talented cousin at the annual Sutherland family picnics. The best of grandmothers, her grandsons adored her and could do no wrong in her eyes, her great-grandchildren made her smile in delight everytime she saw any one of them, referring to them all at one time or another as THE KID. She was our mentor, she taught us to work hard, to be proud of what you do, to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". She told us how proud of us she was and we always knew how much she loved us. She will remain in our hearts and memories until we meet again. Mom requested no fuss or service; cremation has taken place and a private family get-together will be planned with internment in the spring. The family would like to express their deepest thanks to Dr. Peter Bialy or "the cheeky one", as Lorraine often called him. Also, to the nurses and aids from Palliative Care who helped everyone, most especially Barbara for her care and support. Friends and relatives are invited to share in a photo-tribute, stories and condolences for the family by visiting her memorial page at integritydeathcare.com.

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • I am so sorry to hear of Auntie Lorraine's passing. She was always my favorite Aunt. She was a straight shooter. Never sugar coated anything. And I loved that about her. Truly an amazing and strong woman. She had such a big heart. I am so sorry we all drafted apart over the years after Dad (her brother Jim Budd) passed away Dec. 10, 1996. I know how much he loved his sister. He adored her. And they will meet in Heaven and be together again. My deepest sympathy to my cousins; Donna, Kim and Laurie. Your Mom was an amazing woman and I have so many treasured memories of years ago, how much she touched my heart and I have always remembered her with love. I am so sorry for your loss. I know her brother is once again taking care of his sister. - Posted by: Laura Sinclair (Niece) on: Feb 19, 2017

  • On Valentine's Day, god summoned an angel who walked the earth for 84 love filled years. Instead of a babysitter (I scared them all away) my Grandma moved in with us and spent 7 years by my side, holding my hand when scared or happy, telling me everything will be alright and said "I love you" to me more times in a day than I can count. For the 31 years I've been alive, our relationship consistently remained the same. We called each other every day and saw each other several times a week. I will never forget the comfort that hearing her say "I love you David!" brought me. In her final days she was in excruciating pain, but still fought for every minute of life that she could get. In her last hours she wasn't able to speak, but when she looked at you in the eyes you knew she was fully with it and knew we were there. Mom and I sat with her for hours, and as we sat there sobbing and reflecting on all the good times we shared with her, she opened her eyes and looked me square in the face and said "I love you". It was then that I finally felt at peace with the inevitable. For all the years she spent holding my hand, telling me it's gonna be okay and that she loved me - I felt honoured to do the same for her as she took her last breath and made her way up to heaven. She will be forever missed by the many people whose life she impacted just as she did mine. - Posted by: David Kuivenhoven (Grandson ) on: Feb 18, 2017

  • I will always remember the fun times at the Sutherland bashes in Sandy Hook at the Sutherland cottages. I remember meeting Bob at his office in City Park during the middle of the night when we had coffee together. Bob was Park Police and I was Winnipeg Police. We would often be treated to Lorraine's baking sent to work with Bob on night shift. Lorraine was a friendly outgoing lady who will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know her. Best wishes to her family,Jack and Elaine in Kelowna,B.C. - Posted by: JACK REAY (RELTIVE AND FRIEND) on: Feb 18, 2017

  • At 5:55 PM February 14th, Lorraine Sutherland passed. She was like my own mother and I loved her as a mother and I felt it back. My mother passed on the 4th of July 1974 and since that day Lorraine opened her arms and her love for me even though I was a 17 year old boy friend of her baby daughter in the family. I will never forget her......... - Posted by: John Kuivenhoven (Son in law) on: Feb 18, 2017
