Lorette was born in Coaldale on May 8th, 1934 and lived her entire life in town. She was very proud of her Mennonite culture, history, traditions and large extended family.
Family Reunions, Celebrations and Holidays always brought her so much joy and happiness. She absolutely loved people and the opportunity to visit and share stories and meals. Quite often you would hear Lorette say “Come on down, I’ll buy you a coffee”. Her home had an opened door policy where all were welcomed, including cats! She always provided a wonderful home for her furry friends.
Lorette married Len Coyne on April 22nd, 1954 and lived in Coaldale. They were active members of the community, supporting various organizations and volunteering their time whenever needed. They formed strong and lasting friendships throughout the years. Together, they maintained and worked hard at the Rental Property Business that they started in 1964.
A feisty little lady, Lorette had a big heart and a caring spirit. She knew who she was and stood by her convictions. She faced all challenges in life with courage and strength.
