Lorraine Catherine Kuhn

October 7, 1948 – February 9, 2021

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our mom Lorraine

Kuhn on February 9, 2021. Lorraine will be remembered first as a

superb athlete missing out on the 1976 Canadian Olympic Volleyball

team only because she moved to the Yukon where she would spend the

next almost 40 years as a teacher, coach and friend; and avid outdoor

enthusiast. She coached many girls’ volleyball and basketball teams,

taking her teams to competitions across Alaska and Alberta. In the

early 2000s, she retired to Cochrane, Alberta where she spent more

than 15 years trail riding with friends in Alberta’s spectacular Rocky

Mountains.

So many friends have reached out over the past days, all sharing their

love and respect for Mom. She touched so many lives and leaves many,

many wonderful memories. She was mentor and surrogate parent, and

adopted Aunt to many over the years, and forged friendships that have

lasted. I’m not sure if she ever truly grasped the extent of her

influence and how well-loved she was. She leaves a huge hole in our

hearts.

Lorraine was predeceased by her parents Helen and Cy Ward and her

brother Don Ward. She is survived by her children Robyn and Tyler

(Amber Church) and granddaughter Inara; her sisters Laurie Ward (Lance

Mills) and family, Elaine Ward (Shanti) and family, and Jean Webb and

family; and her brother Richard Campbell-Ward. And the many friends

that were as close as family.

Mom, you are loved and will be forever in our hearts.
