Lorna Dora Koroscil

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Lorna Dora Koroscil on December 23, 2024 at the age of 89. Lorna was born at the farm near Clanwilliam to Freeman & Dora Kaufman on January 27, 1935. She grew up there attending school at Lakelet and Clanwilliam schools. When she finished school, she moved to Birtle to work at Maduik’s Bakery where Brian Koroscil was the baker. Lorna and Brian were married on May 9, 1956. They spent a few years in Birtle, then lived in Thompson for 7 years, Kitscoty, AB for a few years and retired back to Birtle in 1994. They loved to travel and enjoyed trips to the west coast, twice to Hawaii, Vegas, Palm Springs, and Lorna loved the Maritimes. Brian fondly referred to Lorna as his “bride”. They loved to golf, play cards and spend time with family. Although they had no children of their own, all their nieces and nephews were very special to them. Lorna loved to go to the coffee shop or have coffee with the ladies in her building. Lorna was a very compassionate and loving person. Family meant a lot to Lorna and she will always be remembered as a loving and caring wife, sister, sister-in-law and Aunt. She was a very quiet lady and never wanted to ask for anything right to the end. Left to mourn, are her two sisters Erma Reeds and Teresa (Gil) Ollivier, brother-in-law, Ken McElheron, sisters-in-law Martha Hodkinson and Pat Koroscil and brother-in-law, Jerry Lyttle as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her father and mother Freeman and Dora Kaufman, her in laws, Peter and Mary Koroscil, her brother Clayton (Edith) Kaufman, her sister Audrey McElheron, sisters-in-law, Kay (Frank) Koss, Alice (Ron)Harrison, and Sonja Lyttle and brothers-in-law, Mike Koroscil, Lawrence (Verna) Koroscil , Don Koroscil and Vic Hodkinson. The family would like to thank the staff at the Russell Hospital for her wonderful care.
