Lorraine (Bobsey or Bea as she was called by family and a handful of close friends), was one of 5 children born in Kingston, Jamaica to Lloyd and Lorna McLaren. She died peacefully at Brampton Civic Hospital on April 25, 2024. She was a daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and a friend to many.

Lorraine loved the culinary arts and was happiest in the kitchen whipping up some gastronomic delight she had created. She loved children and always had a treat at the ready to bring out a smile, dry up tears or to bribe a hug. She had a loud and contageous laugh and a willingness to help anyone in any way at any time.

Lorraine will forever be remembered by her loving family, mother: Lorna McLaren, son: Andrew Coley Jr., Andrew's fiancé: Stephane Diamondz, grandson: Andrew Coley (III) (AJ), sisters: Cavell McLaren-Smith and Keesha McLaren, niece: Jhnelle McLaren-Beato, nephews: Matthew and Daniel Lynch and many other close relatives and friends who were blessed to have known her.

Lorraine is pre-deceased by her father Lloyd McLaren, brother Jeffrey McLaren and sister Caroll McLaren.
