Lorette Ann Clune passed away at her home in Boca Raton, Florida on Friday, September 28, 2018.  Lorette was born on July 27, 1933 in Perth, Ontario to the late Lorne and Mary Quigley.

Lorette moved to Detroit, Michigan and worked at the Lafayette Clinic in Detroit as a medical secretary.  During her time in Detroit, she was introduced to Dr. John Clune who was completing his residency at Kresge Eye Institute.  She said it was love at first sight.  They married in July 1960.  She became a full-time homemaker, dedicating her life to being a loving and caring wife, mother and friend.  She was happiest when opening her home to her family and friends.  She also loved golf, bridge and travel.  A favorite trip involved cruising and listening to her favorite Irish crooner, Daniel O'Donnell.  She was full of fun and had a wonderful sense of humor.   Her genuine love for people impacted everyone she met for the better.  She was known for her zest of life, her friendly smile and fun-loving spirit.  She led her life on her terms full of love, compassion and unwavering faith.  She was a longtime member of Saint Jude's Catholic Church.  Her faith brought her through the tragic loss of her husband to cancer at the age of 54.  Her fierce determination allowed her to continue to be the rock that held her family together.  Her unconditional love for her children and grandchildren were the gifts she gave in abundance.  She will be sorely missed by all her loving family.
