Corkum (Muise), Lorraine Louise - age 90 of Enfield passed away peacefully and lovingly surrounded by her family on January 13, 2024 in Northwood Ivy Meadows. Born in Halifax, she was a daughter of the late George Henry and Lucy (Poirier) Muise.
She lived in Halifax, then moved to Oldham, and settled later in Enfield.
Lorraine’s working years were spent at Moirs Chocolate, Roy O’Briens Packing and then several other positions in the service industry.
When Lorraine retired, she kept busy with her late husband of 61 years, Earl and enjoyed visiting and spending time with her family and friends. She and Earl would stop at nothing to try to help their kids any way they could. She certainly missed Earl in her last few years.
Those who knew Lorraine would quickly realize she was a very witty lady and enjoyed poking fun at people she loved with a joking remark, even up to her last days. Some of her favorite pastimes included music festivals, playing scratch tickets, playing cards, and chatting with family and friends at the kitchen table. She was also a volunteer for the Lady's Auxiliary at the Enfield Legion for many years.
Lorraine will be deeply missed by her son, Bob (Noreen); daughters, Donna Fraser, Shelly O’Neil (Kevin), Terry Lee Brooking (Tony) and Cheryl Corkum (Russell); grandchildren, Steven, Natacha, David, Amanda, Scott, Patrick, Shane, Alex, Karley; 19 great-grandchildren; and siblings, Peggy Gibbon, Diane Horne, Jean Slaunwhite, and Peter Muise.
Predeceased by her husband, Earl Corkum; step-mother, Mary (Neave) Muise; and her brothers, Donald, George, Ernest and John Muise
A Celebration of Life Service will be held in Enfield Legion on Sunday, January 21, 2024 from 2-4 p.m.
Cremation has taken place under the care and direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit and a private burial will be held at a later date.
Family would like to thank the special workers at Ivy Meadows and the new special friends she recently had met there. Also, a special thank you to Daniel NP and Vicki NP.
Rest in peace Mom (Lorraine), now you and Dad (Earl) will be able to look over and watch us all from heaven above.
