It is with heavy hearts that we, the family of Loretta Irene Fuller, announce her unexpected passing, at her workplace, on October 17, 2021, shortly after her 63rd birthday.

Loretta is survived by, and will be dearly missed by, her two sons Shawn Pike (Tanya) and Sheldon Pike (Charlie); four grandchildren; also a brother, Lyle Fuller (Cheryl); sisters Lorna Drebit (Bill), Linda Burke (Jerry), and Leslie-Ann Fuller; in addition, numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and countless friends. Loretta was predeceased by her father, Kenneth Fuller, in 1985, and her mother, Odell Fuller, in 2018.

Loretta’s selflessness and caring nature touched many lives; she lived her life putting others before herself. Her listening skills were one of her finest attributes and whether friend, family or neighbour, she had a knack for making you feel that your concerns were hers. She loved being at the lake, sitting around the campfire, and especially sharing time with her family. Her sense of humour and quick wit often brought shock and subsequent laughter to those around her.

Loretta loved music and her home was filled with it. Her father taught her to play the piano at a young age. They performed many duets, entertaining those who gathered to watch and listen. Her sons absorbed the songs of her era, and she, the songs of theirs.

Loretta was a tireless, diligent worker, both at her workplace and at home. She meticulously maintained her yard and garden. Her “green thumb” was evidenced as well by the many indoor plants that adorned her home.

We would like to thank the paramedics and the RCMP for their efforts, skills and service. To Loretta’s friends and coworkers, we offer our condolences, and thank you for reaching out to us at this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or to the charity of your choice.

    I am at a loss for words. I know there is nothing for me to say that will make your loss easier but know that I am sending you my love and support. I hope you can understand what I can’t put into words.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
