It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Loretta Perkins, who passed away on May 29, 2026, at the age of 87.

Born on October 14, 1938 in Minnetonas, Manitoba, Loretta lived a life marked by love, kindness, and devotion to her family and friends. She was known for her warm heart, generous spirit, and unwavering support of those she loved.

Loretta was a devoted mother, grandmother, wife, sister, and friend; who found joy in gardening, playing word searches, and camping. Her presence brought comfort and happiness to countless people, and her legacy will continue through all the lives she touched.

Loretta is lovingly remembered by her sons Dale (Sandra) Zak, and Kim (Tina) Zak; daughters Sherrie (Terrence) Shears, and Tracy Caron (Steve); brother and sister Ken Stoupe and Peggy McIntyre; grandchildren Danielle, Paige, Steven, Jesse, Macy, and Christian; great-grandchildren Roland, and Rynlee; and by many other friends and family members.
