Lorraine Ringel

Ian, Heather, Jacob and family. I was very saddened to hear of the loss of your mom, mother-in-law and grandmother. I am sure she was very proud of all of you. My heart is with you. May you be comforted with all the Mourners of Zion and Yerushalyim. Fondly, Janice Lebow

Heartfelt condolences from our entire family on the passing of your dear mother. She was a best friend to my late mother, Clara Green, for many years, and always asked about our children, each one by name. I last spoke to Lorraine a few months ago and she still asked about the children, now all grown with families of their own. May her memory be for a blessing, and may you be comforted among the mourners of Tzion v'Yerushalayim.

I was very sorry to hear about Lorraine's passing. My sincerest sympathy to her family. I had the good fortune of getting to know Lorraine, a lovely, warm, friendly lady, when she lived across from my mother, Frances Ittleman, on the 6th floor of The Terraces.

Lorraine was the most gentle and sweetest woman and best mother-in-law one could have. When I visited her in September she asked me about each and every one in my life today, though we hadn't spoken in years. I remember her huge jars of Mandelbroit that were always waiting for me to take home at Friday night dinners long ago. Ian, my surrogate brother, Mops will always be with us!

I was so sorry to hear of Lorraine's passing. She was a wonderful neighbour and friend to my aunt who passed away in May 2020. I had many lunches and conversations with Lorraine - what a special human being. My deepest condolences to the family.

Hi Ian, So sorry to hear about the loss of your mom!!! May your mom's name be a blessing for your family for generations to come. Phil & Ruth Hart

My heartfelt condolences to the Ringel family. The Fox's and Ringel's lived next door to each other on Dinan Street for decades and so our two families got to know each other quite well over those years. As the friendship between Ian and I grew, so did my familiarity with Lorraine and Abe. I also had the priviledge of spending one or two winter vacations in Century Village as an invited guest of the Ringel family. Some incredible memories. Lorraine was a wonderful, soft-spoken, patient, good-natured class act. And what can I say about her cooking .... she would put on a mean spread of good Jewish cooking. How lucky I was to be able to enjoy a few home cooked meals by Lorraine Ringel. Ian, you are blessed to have enjoyed your mother for so many decades. She lived a long full life. She will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have enjoyed her presence.

Mrs. Ringel was an incredible lady. Growing up on Old Orchard Grove, the Ringels were one of the familiar families, both in shul and in the neighbourhood. Though we hadn't seen each other in years, , when we last met (just before COVID) Mrs. Ringel asked about my family, and we reminisced; she remembered all of us. After a lovely, unhurried chat, I came away in awe, privileged to have glimpsed my childhood neighbourhood through her adult eyes. May her memory always be a blessing.

Ian, Im so very sorry your mom is now physically gone from your life, but you’ll feel her spirit around you always. . I wish for you the strength to carry on, and to keep her close to your heart. May she have a beautiful journey to Olam Ha’bah. z”l

To the Ringel Family, We are sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Please accept our deepest condolences. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Joseph Di Iulio and Nadine Lerman.
