Lorene Isabel Manchester

October 23, 1924 — February 4, 2022

MANCHESTER, Lorene Isabel (née Teesdale) - It is with great sadness that the family of Lorene Manchester (née Teesdale) sadly announce her passing, February 4, 2022, at the age of 97 years. Lorene passed away peacefully at home with her son by her side, after a short but hard-fought battle with cancer. Lorene was predeceased by her loving husband James Henry Manchester (2004), her son Gary James Manchester (2013), her Parents Walter Teesdale (1928) and Fern Wingrove (1997) and sisters Muriel and June. She is survived by her son Gregory Manchester. Lorene will be lovingly remembered by her Sister-in-Law Norma Murray, Daughter-in-Law Judith Manchester, Grandchildren Travis (Linda) Manchester, Stuart (Danielle) Manchester, and Kellie (Ron) Manchester and her Great-Grandchildren James, Victoria, Danica and Cameron and many nieces and nephews. Lorene was born in Barrie, Ontario and after the death of her father as a young child, she moved with her mother and sisters to Weyburn, Saskatchewan where she grew up during the depression years. She then moved back to Barrie and eventually to Toronto where she married and worked at Eaton’s until she became a mother. She volunteered as a cub scout leader, loved to be outside in her garden and always had one of the nicest gardens around. In keeping with Lorene’s wishes a celebration of life will be held at BASIC FUNERALS & CREMATION CHOICES – JENNETT MEMORIAL CENTRE, 152 Bradford Street in Barrie on Thursday, April 28th 2022. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until the funeral service at 12 noon. Interment to follow at Barrie Union Cemetery 338 Sunnidale Road, Barrie, Ontario, L4M 4S4.
