Lorna Marjorie (Booker) Lozon entered into eternal rest July 2, 2021, two months shy of her 95th birthday.Born to Russell and Mary (Whaley) Booker on September 1, 1926, Lorna lived most of her life in the Union-Port Stanley area, blessed with life-long friendships and rewarding work. Older sister Mary (Burke) Fishleigh and younger brother Joe were much-loved and respected companions on her journey.Lorna attended St. Thomas Collegiate Institute, and set her sights on her mother’s profession, teaching, completing studies at the London Normal School. She began her career in Becher, Ontario, outside of Wallaceburg, teaching in a one-room schoolhouse. While there, she met the love of her life, William A. Lozon. She taught in Yarmouth Township including Seminary School on the Sparta Line, and Littlewood (in north Yarmouth), and completed her career at Port Stanley Public School, first in the original schoolhouse at the bottom of the hill, and then in the new facility by the arena.
