Lorna attended school at Rodrickville and Cutbank schools. She also attended SIAST and received a Certified Nursing Assistant diploma at the age of 49. She worked for 6 and a half years at the Swift Current Union Hospital on the maternity ward. For a large part of her life, she farmed together with her husband Ken whom she married on March 20, 1941. Lorna was an active member of the Burnham Community Club and the Frontier Days Family Fair and Horticulture Committees. She was a lifetime member of the Woman's Institute (Homemakers). She was also Worthy Matron of the Order of Eastern Star. Lorna founded the Burnham 4-H Club in 1956 and was its first General Leader. She also represented the R.M. of Coulée and was on the founding board of Wheatland Home Care. Lorna's sporting interests were softball, curling, and shuffleboard. She loved to knit, do needlework, garden, flower arrange, do ceramics and stain glass work. She enjoyed a game of double solitaire, tile rummy, or doing crossword puzzles. Later in life she travelled extensively to Alaska, China, Australia, and even rode an elephant in Thailand in her 80's. For nearly 30 years, she spent her winters at Venture Out Trailer Park in sunny Mesa, Arizona where she rarely missed her water exercises or happy hour.
