Obituary: Lorna Douglas

Lorna Douglas, age 92 of Wayland, Michigan, passed away on July 28, 2023. Lorna was born on April 13, 1931, in Wayland where she lived her beautiful life.
Lorna was preceded in death by her husband, Roger; parents Clifford and Cecil Averill; sisters Opal (Kenneth) Hendrikson, Dorothy (Vern) McCormick, Janet (Leon) Perkins; sisters-in-law Anne (Ken) Jensen and Marie Frank. She will be deeply missed by her children Diana Lynn (Rick) Snyder and Brian (Jeanette) Douglas. Lorna’s happiest moments were with her grandchildren Tracy (Brian) Wnuk, Shannon (Bryan) Dockter, Jesse (Alexandra) Snyder; great-grandchildren Cole (Amanda) Wnuk, Alli (Trevor) Humphrey, Lee Jr. (Madie) Misak, Emily Dockter, Aleigha Snyder, Douglas Dockter; great-great-granddaughter, Cora Humphrey; and two little great-great-grandchildren, Baby Boy Misak and Baby Girl Wnuk, who are on the way. She had a wild spirit and a young soul. Anyone who was lucky enough to talk to Lorna was privileged with the beautiful story about her memorable life.
She met her husband and soulmate Roger at the young age of 13, and they were happily married for 53 years. Roger and Lorna were known for their playful spirit. Roger was lucky enough to catch her attention by throwing peanuts at her shoulder during a game they both attended. That moment was a story Lorna would tell you with a huge smile and a twinkle in her eye. Lorna was happiest watching her family doing the things they loved. From football games to horse shows, front yard barbeques, and birthday parties, Lorna was always attentive with a warm smile. She was a wonderful and loving person who will be missed by all.
A time to visit with family and celebrate Lorna’s life will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, August 10, 2023 at Kubiak-Cook Wayland Chapel, 312 N. Main St., Wayland, MI 49348.
