At age 64, Lorrie Roberts passed peacefully away November 27th, 2019 at Curtis Memorial hospital. In her final moments she was surrounded by her nearest and dearest family members. Strength, determination, heart of gold and nerves of steel. There will never be enough words to describe Lorrie’s disposition and outlook on life. She was completely selfless putting the lives of everyone else before her own. At age 18, Lorrie was given the task of raising her 6 younger siblings. Ensuring they had a motherly figure to depend on, she stepped seamlessly into the role. As the children gradually grew up and moved on, Lorrie started working at the local fish plant in St. Anthony where she worked until the collapse of the fishery. During that time she was married and raised two children of her own. It was then she began to devote her time to her true passion of cooking and baking. She worked in various restaurants throughout the years, ending her career at the Lighthouse Keepers Cafe. No matter how many hours she spent on her feet she always found time for her favorite leisure activities including sewing, trouting, card games and darts, just to name a few. She was the epitome of a social butterfly and loved every minute of it. She has touched countless lives throughout the years and will undoubtedly be missed. She leaves to mourn; Husband - Alec, daughters - Tisha (Rick) and Tina, her pride and joy, granddaughter - Tamara; Sisters - Linda (Phillip), Rose (Tony), Marcella (Paul); Brothers - Charlie (Suzy), Eugene (Rita), Joe (Brenda), Austin (Agnes); Sisters in law Paula and Eleanor: as well as numerous extended family members and friends.

BEST, CALVERT WILLIE

December 28, 1952 – November 22, 2019

Passed away November 22, 2019 from the Health Science Centre in St. Johns at the age of 66. Cal was born in St. Anthony, NL situated at the tip of the Great Norther Peninsula to Robert and Evangeline Best on December 28, 1952. He spent years exploring the breathtaking landscape that is so familiar to him… walking the shorelines, tramping through bogs and climbing over cliffs. It is this and the culture and heritage of the province that was a source of his inspiration. His carvings were glimpses of what he saw in the past and what he saw around him at that moment. The fact that he had years seeing animals and birds in their natural environment allowed him not only to show their form, but to capture movement as well. Cal’s exquisitely carved images done primarily in moose and caribou antler capture the rich heritage, unique culture, and natural beauty of the region. Cal will be forever loved and remembered by his Wife, Family, and Friends.
