LORRAINE JOAN HALPARIN (née SCHWARTZ)

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Lorraine Halparin on February 13th at the age of 79.
Lorraine was born in Selkirk, Manitoba. She met the love of her life and married Gerald Halparin in 1970.
Lorraine was predeceased by her husband Gerry, her parents Abraham and Betty (Pitch), her sister Shirley Caplan, and her brother Sidney Schwartz.
To cherish her memory, Lorraine leaves behind her daughter Aimee (Melvin), her son Michael (Melissa) and four grandchildren who were the apple of her eye; Kyla & Jeremy Horbul, and Hersh & Dov Halparin.
The family would like to thank the entire staff of the 4th floor at Riverside Lions where she had been living since July 2022, and the staff at the Transitional Care Unit on Cornish 6 at Misericordia Health Centre for caring for her during her recent, short stay.
As per her wishes, a graveside service was held at Hebrew Sick Cemetery on February 15, 2023 officiated by Cantor Tracy Kasner.
Private shiva was observed. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg or to Dying With Dignity.
