Lorraine Lang

LANG, Lorraine, 71, of Lanexa, Va., was laid to rest by the Lord on December 7, 2008. Lorraine started her journey in Shirley, N.Y., where she met her love and survivor of 48 years, Ronald Lang. They joined together and traveled to Virginia to start a life, where she worked at Parent Child Development Center (PCDC) for 22 years as a bookkeeper. They expressed their affection together with the birth of their four loving and surviving daughters, Nina Wallace (Scott) of Lanexa, Va., Bethany Davis (Robert) of Panama City, Fla., Ronda Foster (Troy) of New Kent, Va., and Laurie Tolley (John) of Lanexa, Va. The foundation of family and tranquility expanded to her surviving and loved grandchildren, Edwin Wallace, Joshua Davis, Ashton Wallace, Olivia Foster, Tiffany Tolley, Adeline Foster, John Wesley Tolley, Clara Foster and Sofia Foster. She struggled for a couple of years with myeloproliferative blood disorder, and even though her mind was worried, her love for her friends and family spread far, deep, and was never neglected. The good Lord answered her prayers, and in two days, she was peacefully at rest before she left this earth. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Vincent Funeral Home, 9923 Pocahontas Trail, Providence Forge, Va. A funeral service will be conducted 1 p.m. Thursday, also at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, Lorraine would have appreciated donations made in her memory to the MPD Foundation, 233 S. Wacker Dr., Suite 375, Chicago, Illinois 60606 (www.mpdfoundation.org).
