Loretta
Passed peacefully away at the Caribou Memorial Veterans Pavilion on Thursday, July 2nd, 2015 Loretta Flynn (nee White). Pre-deceased by her parents Michael James and Elizabeth White, husband Joseph Flynn, brother Bert White and sister Marie Lowe. Leaving to mourn her daughter Barbara Bartlett (George) and son Colin Flynn (Sharon); four grandchildren Colin Bartlett (Renee), Lake Worth, Florida, Andrea Thompson (Bret) Winnipeg, Manitoba, Heather Orr (Rob), Painesville, Ohio and Curran Flynn, London UK; three great grandchildren, a large number of nieces and nephews and her special friends Agatha King of St. John's and Lee Gill and family of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Loretta was a proud World War 11 veteran, having served in the RCAF in various parts of Canada. After the war she married Joe, a British naval veteran, and they settled in Buchans, until Joe's passing in 1972. Loretta was actively involved in the Canadian Legion, and was for 18 years the provincial treasurer of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Legion. She was also actively involved with both the Girl Guides and Scouts, starting the first Cub pack in Buchans in the early 1960's. Upon her move to St. John's in 1972 she remained active with the Legion, and for many years was the Secretary of the Action Committee for the Caribou Memorial Veterans Pavilion in St. John's. Loretta was active in her condo association at 25 Tiffany Lane, and was president of that association for a period of time. Thank you to the second floor staff at Tiffany Village, who embraced her desire to keep active for the two years she lived there. Special thanks goes to her two special caregivers, Paula Parsons and Jaime Westgate, as well as others, who met her every need over the last several months. Thanks also to the staff of the Caribou Memorial Veterans Pavilion for their quick action and compassionate care during her short stay there.
