Nancy Lorraine Warwick passed away peacefully, with the love of her sisters by her side on Saturday, September 15, 2018 of Exeter at the age of 53. Lorraine was the cherished daughter of the late James (2002) and Nancy (2007) Warwick. She will be forever missed by her sisters and brother-in-law Diane and Randy Hoffman of Dashwood and Melanie Warwick Miller of Exeter. Special aunt “Meowie” to Jake and Jonathan Miller; and Corey and Cayla Hoffman. Lorraine will be missed by her aunts, uncles and many good friends. Though cancer took her life, it never took her smile, spirit or determination; and because of this, cancer did not win.
Friends may call at the Haskett Funeral Home, 370 William Street, Exeter on Tuesday evening from 7-9 PM where the memorial service will be held on Wednesday, September 19 at 11 AM. Cremation with a private family interment will be held at the Exeter Cemetery at a later date.

I am so sorry to hear of Lorraine’s passing. I have fond memories of Lorraine as she was a massage client of mine for many years. She had a kind heart and an amazing sense of humor. We had many long conversations and I always looked forward to her appointments. I am so very sad to hear that she is gone from this world, as it was definitely a better place with her in it.

Diane,Melanie and family – my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Lorraine. I knew Lorrraine right from Mrs. Desjardines kindergarten class through to the end of high school. Although we didn’t see each other much we would run into each other both being in town. Lorraine will be remembered for her wit and sense of humour although dry it was sometimes! I so admire her strength through this tough battle and it is right- cancer did not beat her. Rest In Peace gentle soul <3

Lorraine was the secretary at Robarts when I began my teaching career. I love chatting with her and laughing with her. Her quick, witty sense of humor made even the toughest days bright. She was the woman with all of the answers and knew just what to do in every situation. Her presence has been greatly missed since she moved to another Ministry. She is, and will continue to be, greatly missed.

I worked with Lorraine and there was never a day that she didn’t bring a smile to my face. She knew just what to say to make others feel important and cared for. Her witty sense of humour was enjoyed by all that had the honour of knowing her; she could make you belly laugh using so few words. I will miss her dearly. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
Janet Macartney
It was a great pleasure to know Lorraine when we both worked at Robarts School. She had a great sense of humour and work ethic. I never envied her trip from Exeter to London and back every day, and never heard her complain. She loved Exeter and surrounding area.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.
Judy Sparks

May you all celebrate the beautiful moments, conversations, and life that you shared together with her. God bless you. You will be in my prayers.

I’ll always treasure the memories I have of working with Lorraine, her smile, her wit and her sense of humor, her love of Huron county and the stories of the winter treks into London. Most of all I’m going to miss hearing her say “Well hello there Miss Dickie”. You will be missed my friend.

I have wonderful memories working with Lorraine at the Robarts School for the Deaf in London a few years back. Long drives to London from Exeter in winter, while daunting, did not disuade Lorrainne. She was always pleasant, positive and highly efficient. Lorrainne made many friends where ever she worked, we will all miss her. My sincere condolences to Lorraine’s family ( whom she spoke often of ) and all of her friends and colleagues.

Lorraine, I will miss our conversations about so many topics. I loved how open you were to trying new things related to food and health. We spent so many hours with our witty bantering, I am sure we entertained those around us. You were so brave and courageous, even when things were so frustrating and difficult. I am sad but glad you are in peace. I know you will be missed so much by your family but I am glad you were able to spend so much quality time with everyone. Bye my sweet sister.
THERESA HUGILL
I am terribly sorry to hear the news of Lorraine’s passing. I so much enjoyed her company, her wit, her stories about her family, and her endless jokes about scrap-booking “life is a scrapbook you know…”. You will be forever missed my dear friend, fly high with the angels, until we meet again. xo

She always had the answers I needed regarding union issues.
Loved her smile and stories about her family.
We decided together that we would forever tease her sisters about the hats I would make her that actually fit her head. NOW you know so if you would some to fit your heads as well just let me know.
Forever in my thoughts and prayers.
