It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Lorraine Foote—a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and pillar of our family and community. Lorraine’s departure leaves a void that words can scarcely express, but her memory and influence remain deeply woven into the fabric of our lives and the spirit of everything we do.
Lorraine was more than the heart of our family—she was the heart of Waterdown Income Tax, a business built not only on professionalism and trust but on care, compassion, and genuine human connection. For decades, Lorraine greeted each client not just as a customer, but as a friend. Her warm smile, calm presence, and dedication to helping others made a lasting impression on everyone who walked through our doors.
Through times of change and uncertainty, Lorraine remained a beacon of steadiness and grace. Her deep sense of responsibility to both her family and her community never wavered. Her work ethic was tireless, and her love boundless. Whether she was helping someone navigate the complexities of their taxes or offering a word of comfort to a friend in need, Lorraine did everything with heart.
As we navigate this time of mourning, we have chosen—as a family—not only to grieve but to honor Lorraine’s legacy by continuing the work she loved so deeply. We are proud to announce the inclusion of our son, John Foote, in the business. His presence marks a new chapter for Waterdown Income Tax, and with it, a renewed commitment to the values that Lorraine lived by: integrity, kindness, humility, and unwavering dedication to service.
Alongside John Foote Sr., Kathy Skinner, and Emily Skinner, our team remains united and resolute. We will carry Lorraine’s memory forward by upholding the very principles she instilled in us—treating every client with respect, every question with patience, and every person with care.
To all who have reached out during this difficult time, please know that your love and support mean the world to us. Your kind words, warm memories, and continued trust in our family have lifted us in more ways than we can say.
As we continue serving you with the same spirit that Lorraine embodied, we offer our sincerest gratitude for being part of our extended community. Waterdown Income Tax is more than a business—it’s a family, and each of you is part of it.
We look forward to seeing you all again soon, and when you do come through our doors, we hope you feel just a bit of Lorraine’s warmth still here with us.
With heartfelt appreciation and love,
John Foote Sr.

And in cherished memory, Lorraine Foote
— Forever in our hearts, always part of our story.
