"Together Again"
Lorraine Francis Reardon (Yeager), 77, of Akron, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at Akron General Medical Center. She was the beloved wife of her late husband, Mike.
Family was at the heart of everything Lorraine did. She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She was so proud of them and always gushed on their achievements. Holidays were especially dear to her-she poured her heart into decorating, taking great pride in making her home festive and welcoming for every occasion. Lorraine also found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether she was planting flowers in the garden, playing with her beloved cats, or treating herself to a day of getting her hair and nails done.
In addition to her husband Mike, Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents Russell and Beatrice Yeager, sister Mary Jane Pennecke and brothers Tommy and Rusty Yeager.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Michelle Keller and Kim Jaggers (Matt); grandchildren, Cameron Polk, Ryan Fuller, Allyson Armbruster, Sam, Cooper and Jenna Jaggers; niece Diane Lutz (Chuck), nephew John Pennecke, great nieces Kathryn and Samantha Lutz and great-great nephews Godrick and Aiden Lutz. Lorraine also had many "bonus" daughters and granddaughters that she treated as her own.
Per Lorraine's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life and interment at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman will be announced at a later date.
