Mrs. Lorna Schlemme of Lethbridge, beloved wife of Mr. Siegfried “Sieg” Schlemme, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, at the age of 76 years.

Lorna was born in Goodsoil, Saskatchewan on January 11, 1947. She had many good times with her lifelong friends at Henry’s Restaurant. She loved people, sports and cheering for her favorite hockey team, the Oilers. Lorna truly enjoyed life and was known for her quick-witted humor, fierce determination, and generous spirit.

Besides her beloved husband, Sieg, Lorna will be greatly missed by her daughters Lorrie Schlemme and Tammy (Trevor) Gorda; brother Larry Roever; sisters Hilda Shaw, Verna Roever; her loving nephew Shane Roever; grandchildren Colten, Porter and Chance Gorda, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.  She will also be missed by her extended family Linda and Lindsay Curran, and Andrew and Sebastian Czarny.

Lorna was predeceased by her parents Gerhardt and Justina Roever; her sister Irene Braden; sister-in-law Rose Saunders; as well as brothers in law Harry and Fred Schlemme.

 In lieu of a traditional memorial service, Lorna requested a gathering with friends and family to share fond memories at the family home which will take place between 4:00pm to 8:00pm on Wednesday, February 8, 2023.

We would like to thank our family and friends for their love, prayers and support. Many thanks to Dr. Wilde, Dr. Olson and to the team at the ICU Unit at the Chinook Regional Hospital for all of the support and care that was given to us and Lorna during her journey home. Words cannot express the comfort and love that was felt by all.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone.

For part of us went with you, the day God took you home.
