Anne-Lorraine Britton Obituary

Britton, Anne-Lorraine Pinault
82, of Scottsdale, AZ, passed away March 7, 2011. Lorraine was born in Providence, RI to William and Estelle Pinault. After graduating from Marymount College she started her teaching career in Pawtucket, RI. Meeting her future husband, Gene, through mutual friends, she knew that day they would marry and spend their life together. She gave up teaching to be a wife and mother to her son and two daughters in Mansfield, MA. As her children grew, she returned to teaching in East Foxborough, MA at the three-classroom Pratt School. Teaching first grade for all but a few of her 25 years at Pratt School, she loved her students and talked often of former students returning to visit. After their retirement, Gene and Lorraine retired first to Brooklyn, CT then to Titusville, FL and finally to Scottsdale, AZ. Lorraine was a quiet, religious woman, dedicated to her family and friends. She especially enjoyed time spent with her children and seven grandchildren. Lorraine was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 55 years, Gene, and is survived by her son Bill Britton and wife Lynn with their two sons Christopher and Neil, her daughter Barbara and husband Andy Daly with their two sons Matt and Tommy, her daughter Debbie and husband Dr. Brent Allan with their
three children Brittany, Corey and Jake, her sister Teddye Murphy and her brother Bob Pinault with his wife Barbara. A funeral Mass will be held before burial in Arlington National Cemetery in April 2011.

Dear Bill, Barbara and Debbie,

I was sorry to learn of the recent passing of your mom and death of your dad.

When I think of your parents two things come to mind; their unwavering service and commitment to our country and to our Lord Jesus Christ. They did both bravely and unselfishly.

I admired your parents so much for the outward expression of the importance of their Catholic faith in their lives and the lives of their children as evidenced by attending Mass as a family each Sunday and providing Catholic educations to each of you. It was an inspiration to many people.

I hope that the fond and loving memories you have of them will help you through this difficult time. Knowing that they are reunited once again, forever, in the eternal peace of Christ is a beautiful thought!

Sincerely,

Mark S.Mitchell
