In Memory

Ingvald (Lorne) Lorence Levorson

February 27th, 1934 - May 8th, 2024
Ingvald (Lorne) Lorence Levorson

With much sadness, we announce the passing of Lorne in the morning of Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at the age of 90. Lorne is lovingly remembered by his sons, Mark and Greg (Alison); and grandchildren, Matt and Emma and Meredith; his twin sister, Ingrid Levorson and brother, John Levorson. Lorne was predeceased by his loving wife, Myrna, 7 years ago, his loving daughter, Darcey, 11 years ago, his sister, Elsie (John) Mitchell and sister-in-law, Elaine (John) Levorson.

He was a hard-working and social guy who enjoyed outdoor sports of all kinds and instilled this into his children.  Lorne's pride of family achievements was always part of his character and story-telling and he provided his family and friends with a lot of laughs whether intentionally or not.

Throughout his life and especially after retirement, Lorne's favourite place to be was his summer home on Kalamalka Lake, a location he considered to be the most beautiful on earth.  Lorne enjoyed sharing his lake home with family and friends of all ages and where he often hosted spirited debates of the "Heavy Thinkers".
Lorne loved his pets and neighbor's pets that would visit him at his lake house. He enjoyed making concoctions, jams and mysterious treats from the fruits of his orchard. His frugality was legendary and he always enjoyed a hearty dinner of meat and potatoes.

He was a real trooper in the last independent years of his life.

Mark and Greg invite everyone who knew Lorne to attend and share his Celebration of Life at the Varsity Community Association Hall, 4303 Varsity Drive NW, Calgary, AB on Friday, May 31, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.

What an accomplishment that a small town prairie boy who grew up in the Great Depression and had nightmares of eating only carrots or oatmeal became an oil and gas executive and an awesome husband, Dad and Grandpa to his three grandchildren.

We shared many lovely family memories together in Calgary and at Kalamalka Lake, Lorne’s happy place. The whole Levorson family were great slalom water skiers in the day. One year Lorne fell on his ski in the middle of the lake and cracked some ribs. I believe he was in his 60s at the time!

We took turns cooking at the lake house. And Lorne and Mark joined us in Calgary for many holiday meals. Lorne loved to contribute wild game such as geese and his famous freshly baked Lefse (Norwegian Potato Flatbread). And you could always count on Lorne to bring a great bottle of red wine.

Our deepest condolences to the family.

I’m looking forward to seeing Lorne, Myrna and Darcey in heaven. Bless them and all our families.
