In loving memory of Loretta Mary
{PELTIER}
OKIMAW,
February 3, 2002 in her
56th year at the Sudbury Regional Hospital, Laurentian Site.
Loretta was a very proud member of the Bear Clan. She received her
traditional teachings from elder Ray
KINOSHAMEG.
She received an honourary
fellowship from the University of Sudbury (Laurentian University in 1999)
having received many certificates in the past for courses she took with the
Ontario Federation of Friendship Centres in Toronto. Loretta was very
involved with the inception of the alternate justice program in the city of
Sudbury. She worked alongside many of the judicial personnel in Sudbury in
her role as native courtworker that she held for 23 years with the
N'Swakamok Friendship Centre. Loretta was an advocate for the Aboriginal
and Non-Aboriginal people that she had contact with. Her dedication and
commitment knew no bounds. Her great sense of humour will be missed by all
who knew her.
Lovingly remembered by Peter
