NEW GLASGOW - Lorna Mae Hunter, aka “Tuckie,” April 6, 1925 – April 8, 2016, passed away peacefully at Aberdeen Hospital.
Tuckie was the daughter of the late Bill and Florence Oakley.
She was born in Montreal, Quebec, where she later met her beloved late husband, Douglas Frederick Hunter, at a dance hall and he immediately stole her heart. Tuckie and Doug were married and spent their early years together in St. Lambert, Quebec, where their four children were born. Tuckie was a feisty, charismatic, generous, loving and spirited woman who left a lasting impression on all who encountered her. Tuckie was the life of the party and could always tell a good story.
Tuckie is survived by her four children, Leslie Strom, twins Laurie Jaegge and Robert Hunter and Graham Hunter; her nine grandchildren, Eric Strom, Zach Strom, Jenna Hunter, Bianca Jaegge, Max Hunter, Aaron Hunter, Kairi Hunter, Regan Hunter and Maegan Strom; her five great grandchildren, Katie Strom, Jessie Strom, Charlotte Strom, Madison Strom and Griffin Crease; and countless other extended family.
We extend our gratitude to the supportive staff at Shiretown Nursing Home, particularly Wanda, and the compassionate palliative care staff at the Aberdeen Hospital. There will be no visitation or funeral service at the request of the deceased. Condolences may be sent by visiting: www.rhporter.ca
Tuckie, we love you.
