Lorraine was an incredible mother, Nonni, friend, and wife. Born and raised in Boston, she was a devout Catholic, devoted to the Blessed Mother.

She appreciated every aspect of life and the world around her, always in awe of the beauty of her surroundings. Her culinary and hosting skills were unmatched and enjoyed by all who entered her home. She loved to travel, whether it be to her vacation home in Pawley’s Island, SC or taking her grandchildren on trips all around the country, and never missed an opportunity to lounge on the beach.
