Lorraine Porter Obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Lorraine Frances Porter who
departed this life on September 16, 2025. Born on September 22, 1941, Lorraine brought
warmth, kindness, and joy, and a hearty laugh to everyone who knew her.

compassionate spirit. Throughout her life, she devoted time and energy to helping others, always
putting the needs of family and friends above her own. She worked for the State of New York,

also moved to Virginia for a few years, working for Wal-Mart and Lowes.

Frederick Porter, and sister Marjorie White. Lorraine is survived by her brother Charles Porter,
Harold Porter (passed 9/23/25) and sister Geraldine Dixon, her son Christopher Coleman and his
wife Cecilia, many nieces, nephews, cousins, who will forever remember her love, wisdom, and
gentle guidance. Lorraine also leaves behind countless friends and acquaintances who were
touched by her radiant presence and smile.

Lorraine was a very close friend and like a mother to me. She was a wonderful woman of God, and was a great prayer warrior who encouraged me in my darkest hour in life. We loved her dearly and she will be greatly missed. But not forgotten, and I look forward to seeing her again on that glorious resurrection morning. Love Elias and Kim Barreto
