Her true love was Dick, the World War II Air Force Gunner, hard charging Connecticut Prosecutor, following him to Fort Collins, CO before finally settling in Connecticut. Her passion was her eight grandkids, two sons and two daughters, all referring to her as "Nom". She loved the Cape and spent as much time as possible holding court on the deck, conducting the young ones as they undertook various activities while anxiously awaiting birthdays, graduations and weddings. Lorraine's loving presence and encouragement was the texture of the family. She leaves two daughters, Karin V. Moody of Hawaii, Kary K. Apanovitch-Foss and her husband, Steve of Middlebury, two sons, Richard E. Maloney, Jr. and his wife Mary Pat of Willington, Greg J. Maloney of South Windsor, a sister, Doris McLeod of Atlanta, GA and eight grandchildren. Funeral and burial are private and at the convenience of the family.
