LORNA JEAN UNRAU, of Lethbridge, beloved wife of Ronald Unrau, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge on November 12, 2024 at the age of 69 years.

She is the loving mother of Tabitha Unrau of Lethbridge; and is also survived by her sister, Linda Riedlinger-Lund; brother, David Riedlinger; and sister-in-law, Lorena Mangel, all of Penticton, BC; aunt, Lorna Cann of Sudbury, ON; mother-in-law, Mary Unrau, brothers-in-law: Keith Unrau, Darrell Unrau, Randy Unrau, Bradley Unrau, Kevin Unrau and Trevor Unrau; and sister-in-law, Janine Unrau; and Ron’s aunts and uncles: Margaret Petkau, Martha Shire, Art Braun and Richard Letkeman; as well as many surviving nieces, nephews and cousins.

Lorna is also survived by two special friends that she regarded as “sisters”, Wendy Boechler (the daughter of George and Carol McKill of Richmond, BC, who fostered Lorna for several years in the 1960s) and Tanja Selk, who Lorna met in 2020 while in the hospital recovering from major surgery.

She was predeceased by her mother, Eleanor Mangel (2013); brother, Randy Mangel (2016); and her father, Robert Riedlinger (2022).

Lorna was a kind and considerate person. She dealt with each adversity with a fierce determination, to recover while maintaining her quiet dignity and her great sense of humour.

Her family and friends will dearly miss her.

At Lorna’s request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation (kidney.ca) or a charity of your choice.
