ZWICKER (LOHNES)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dorene Margo Zwicker (Lohnes) of Mahone Bay on Wednesday, January. 29, 2025, at home at the age of 85.

Born November 26, 1939, in Bridgewater, she was the daughter of the late Ralph and Doris Lohnes.

Surviving are her son Cliff, daughters Sharon (Bruhm), Karen, grandson Michael, brother Roger and numerous nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her husband Lawrence, brothers Fred, James, and son-in-law Paul.

She was a full-time homemaker and devoted her entire life to her family. We have many fond memories as children of a house filled with the aromas of her daily baking and cooking. She was a hard worker and kept a spotless house. She was an avid flower & vegetable gardener, and we reaped the benefits of pickles and fresh vegetables. One of her favourite pastimes was feeding the hummingbirds and it was great fun to watch their antics. She had a great love for cats and had a wonderful sense of humour.

She was fiercely independent despite various health challenges and remained so until blindness sidelined her. It was a devastating blow to her independence, but her strength of character shone throughout until her passing.

Special thanks to Dr. Zach Shaffelburg, Dr. Colin Mann, and Dr. Neil Harris.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to SHAID or charity of choice.

A graveside service will be held at Dayspring Cemetery, Tuesday, March. 11, 2025, at 11 a.m.  Reverend Willis Ott officiating.

Arrangements are under the direction of the R.A. Corkum Funeral Home, Wileville where on-line condolences may be made by visiting www.corkumsfuneralhome.ca.
