Lorraine was employed by the Physical Plant Department of Colby College in the Miller Library until ill health forced her to retire in 1997. Lorraine was a gentle, jovial woman who put a smile on the face of everyone around her. She enjoyed watching the Red Sox and Miami Dolphins. Part of her Sunday fun was rooting for anyone who was playing against the Patriots just to annoy her sister. She loved spending time with her family and friends, especially Sandra Wadleigh and Sharon Bouchard of Winslow, and Sandra Chipman of Massachusetts. She loved to play cards, especially "63," even though she got stuck with her niece as a partner who never really learned how to play. She loved the coast and eating lobster. She never missed a sports event for her two nieces and her great-nephew Joe. She was predeceased by her parents.
She is survived by her sister, Linda Lizotte, of Winslow; her niece, Michelle Lizotte, of Winterport; and niece Renee and husband Jay Pfingst; and the love of her life, special great-nephew, Joe Pfingst, of Winslow. She is also survived by two aunts, Albertine Violette of Oakland and Marie Morgan of Winslow; and many special and loving cousins.
Her family would like to give special thanks to the staff of Elmwood Primary Care, the staff of Winslow Community Credit Union, the staff of HealthReach Hospice and to everyone at Mount St. Joseph for their love, compassion and excellent care in Lorraine's final days.
There will be no visiting hours. A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011, at St. John the Baptist Church, 26 Monument St., Winslow. Interment will follow at St. Francis Cemetery in Waterville. Memorial donations may be made in her memory to Mount St. Joseph Capital Fund, 7 Highwood St., Waterville, ME 04901.
As Joe would say, "later Tante Raine, love ya."
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Veilleux Funeral Home, 8 Elm St., Waterville.

Lorraine, I love you and will miss you. I grew up with you as part of my family. I remember when you use to babysit me and when you use to take me motorcycle riding as a teen. So glad I got to see you on my trip to my sister Pat's camp this summer. You will be missed dearly. Rose Trahan-DeJesus (Larose, LA)

~God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best~
You will truely be missed each and every day. I will never forget the memories we made and the time we spent in the wee hours of the morning of July 4th each year. I know one day we will meet again, and there will once again be a bright smile upon your face. Rest peacefully...we love you Aunt Lorraine. ~The Johnsons
