LORRAINE MARGARET JENINGS

LORRAINE MARGARET JENINGS ‘Laurie’ (nee Ryan) July 17, 1957 – April 26, 2023 Laurie passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side at her home on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. Born on July 17, 1957 in Woodstock, Lorraine Margaret “Laurie” Jenings (nee Ryan) of East Linton, was in her 66th year. Survived by her husband and best friend of 48 years, Greg Jenings. Loved and cherished mother of Justin Jenings; beloved daughter of Stella Ryan and the late Doug Ryan; loving sister to Ollie and Richard Ryan; loved daughter-in-law of Maude Jenings and the late Nelson Jenings; and sister-in-law of Delynn Cutting (Doug) and Darrell Jenings. Dearly missed by her best buddy Gail Simpson. Laurie will also be missed by her nieces, nephews, and great friends. Laurie had a knack for interior design and decorating. Laurie and Greg could tackle any house and turn it into a beautiful home. They eventually discovered a love for Manitoulin Island where they embarked on many new adventures and met great friends. Laurie and Gaily could be found serving you at the famous Garden Shed Café in Tehkummah. If you had never ‘tasted the secret’ then you missed out! They were #1 on the Island for many years and no crowd was too big or too small. Laurie especially loved the winters she got to spend in Florida, escaping the Canadian winters. Laurie loved hosting and cooking for a crowd; alongside Greg they always had their door open and would welcome anyone. Laurie also loved her spare time with Justin, spending quality time and enjoying each other’s company. Laurie loved her family and friends and would do anything for them; she selflessly put everyone above herself. She leaves a legacy behind that will never be matched. Our hearts are broken and we already miss her dearly. There will not be any service at this time. Arrangements entrusted to the Brian E. Wood Funeral Home, 250 14th Street West, Owen Sound, ON. 519-376-7492. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Chapman House Hospice or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
