It is with sadness that we share the news of Lorraine Delorme’s passing. Lorraine passed away March 19, 2024 at Action Marguerite Saint Vital at the age of 96 years.
Lorraine volunteered for 40 years with Athletics Manitoba and was a top level official. She served a key role in mentoring and training countless officials and was integral to the development of our officiating community.
She was always such a welcoming figure at the track. Her kind and caring demeanor helped many young officials find their feet and learn the ropes. She always made sure officials would track their hours and submit their credits!
She was a staple at numerous events, all the way from local Track Attacks, Elementary Relays (she would even take the pinnies home to make sure they got washed), Manitoba Games, Provincial Championships, all the way up to National and International events. She officiated at the Canada Games, Pan AM Games and Commonwealth Games.
Our hearts go out to her family. She will be truly missed.
