Lorraine Burton Obituary
Lorraine recently celebrated her 30th wedding anniversary with her husband Ron this past July, and the birth of her first grandchild in December.
Born in New York, she moved to San Mateo, California with her family at the age of 12 where she attended high school and junior college. Lorraine loved to be with children and accomplished her dream of becoming a teacher shortly after earning her teaching credential from Chico State University in 1970. After living in Pacific Grove for nearly 30 years, she retired to Chico in 1999.
She is survived by her husband Ron, of Chico, a daughter, Jennifer Kuyper, of Anchorage, a grandson, Dylan Kuyper of Anchorage, her son Michael, of San Ramon, and parents Helen and Howard Burroughs of Melbourne, Fla.

The best sister ever. We did our own thing had our own friends.. We only went to visit from time to time later in life... I remember she had real bad time with Asthma attacks in High School.. And she worked for Charlie Browns and the place was full of smoke she smelled like a cig when she came home. All of this did not help her lungs at all.. I was not really surprised that she had lung problems.. My parents are both gone and I lost my sister.. Life really stinks at times and will always remember her as a very caring person. RIP Lorraine sure miss you and I am sure god is taking good care of you..

Anne and I were stunned to read the obituary. I remember our children playing together, and Lorraine's role in their upbringing. She was a wonderful person with a loving/caring heart. We wish to convey our deepest condolences to Ron and family.
