Lorraine Claire Hall

Lorraine Claire Hall of Framingham, MA peacefully left her earthly body to be with the Lord on Monday, July 28, 2025, at the age of 95, at Saint Patrick's Manor. She was the beloved wife of Edmund C. Hall for 62 years, to whom she was devoted until his passing in 2011 and in spirit until she met him in glory.

She grew up in Watertown, MA, the daughter of the late Ralph F. and Vivian M. (Doherty) Morrison; she was one of nine siblings and is predeceased by her brother Ralph Morrison (and his wife Rita), Richard "Dick" Morrison (and his wife Nora), sister Kathleen "Kay" Weber, brother Charles Morrison (and his wife Ruth), beloved brothers and sisters in-law, Glen Landis, Maurice St. John, and Lois Morrison. She is survived by her sisters Vivian "V" Landis of Virginia and Patricia St. John of Massachusetts, and her brothers George Morrison of Wisconsin and David Morrison (and wife Sharon) of North Carolina and brother-in-law James Weber of Massachusetts.

Lorraine is predeceased by her 2 sons, Edmund D. Hall and Kimball S. Hall. She leaves behind her children, Lisa Quigley (husband Steve) of Virginia, Deborah Carroll of Massachusetts, Anne Hall and James Hall of North Carolina, Michael Hall (wife Sam) of Massachusetts, Joseph Hall of California, and Sarah Karloff (husband Marc) of Massachusetts.

She was a proud grandmother of fifteen grandchildren: Chris Smith (wife Amber), Steve Quigley (wife Sara), Kelly Conrad (husband Nathan), Brandyn Hall (wife Katelyn), David Carroll (wife Lauren), Sean Quigley, Breezy Hall, Derek Carroll, Ian Hall and Katy Nicol, Caroline Berube (husband Tom), Michael Rizzoni, Hannah Hall, Catherine Hayles (husband Spencer), Laurel Hayes (husband Ken), and Elizabeth Rizzoni.

Her legacy continues through sixteen (and counting) great-grandchildren: Ever, Kellan S, Kellan Q, Colton, Finn, Tessa, Brent, Thea, Ella, Tiernan, Olivia, Addison, Patrick, Nora, Bennett, and Emma. In addition, she is remembered with love by over 50 nieces and nephews who will miss their cherished "Auntie Lorraine" deeply.

She would mother anyone in need but she firmly held together this Irish catholic family through unwavering faith and love. Anyone who spent time with Lorraine at her home at 54 will remember her making you a cup of tea, playing card games and eating coffee ice cream. Lorraine loved to host her whole family at her home; for birthdays, holidays and Sunday night dinners around the dining room table where the atmosphere and temperature were loving and warm.

Though she would humbly disagree, those who knew Lorraine often described her as a saint. Her life was a reflection of her devotion: to God, her family and anyone in need. She lived her faith in action, working with St. Vincent de Paul, visiting the sick and elderly (at 90, she often went to "read to the old people"), attending funerals, praying with and for anyone and everyone. She prayed for salvation for her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, their spouses, her neighbors and dear friends. If you ever crossed paths with Lorraine, very good chance she prayed for you too!

Lorraine was a devout catholic and although she frequented many churches (roughly twice daily for at least 30 years), her favorite was Saint Stephen's in Framingham. It was where she built her community, where her friends were and where she felt closest to God. Lorraine lived her life with the goal of making God proud. If anyone has earned their place in Heaven, it is her. We are certain she's already made her way onto the shortlist of guardian angels, continuing her life's work from above.

She will be remembered for her kindness, humility, strength and her deep and abiding faith-a legacy that will live on in all who were blessed to know her.
