McSkimming, Lorna Kathryn (nee Morrell), Aug 29, 1939 – Oct 2, 2018, passed suddenly surrounded by her family. Lorna and her husband Jim, both from the Isle of Arran, Scotland immigrated to Canada more than 50 years ago with their three children. Lorna and Jim spent their holidays exploring the many treasures that Canada has to offer including sharing the beauty of their favourite spot of Killbear Provincial Park with their family. She was very community minded and participated for many years in various volunteer activities.
Much adored wife of almost 60 years to Jim, devoted mother to Jacqueline (Jim) Tugnett, David (Blanka), & Carolyn. Grandmother to Shannon (Ian), Heather (Ryan), Quinn & Sean and honorary grandmother to Tyler, Corey & Bennett. Beloved sister to Celia, Alison, and sister-in-law Georgie. Extended family in Canada, Scotland, England & Australia will be at a loss without the Facebook commentary and phone calls from our dear Lorna.
Lorna’s family would like to thank the exemplary staff at Brampton Civic Hospital and her extended health care team for their supportive care over the years.
A celebration of Lorna’s life will take place at the family home on Saturday November 24th. Please RSVP attendance to rememberinglorna@gmail.com. Those wishing to share pictures and stories to be included at her memorial are encouraged to send them along with their RSVP.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourage donations be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.com).

So heart breaking. I never met Lorna, but I do know Heather and Shannon Tugnett very well. They loved their nannie so much, so I can only assume Lorna was beautiful, strong and kind. Such a close family, so I know how difficult this must be. So much we take for granted. All my love, V

Monty Laskin, CEO, Caledon Community Servives
Lorna lit up Caledon Community Services each and every time she volunteered in our store. I spent many mornings with her talking about Scotland and family and Caledon, three obvious loves of her life. I recall well her kindness, her candour and her constant willingness to pitch in and help CCS support our community. Her warmth and her wit was infectious. My condolences to all who loved this completely lovely woman.
