Lorraine Turcotte Obituary
Lorraine graduated from Manchester West High School, Class of 1951. On May 16, 1953 she married her roller skating dance partner of her mid-teen years and true love for life, Raymond A. Turcotte (1929-2010). Together they raised 4 happy, loving children. They spent many memorable family camping adventures throughout eastern Canada and eastern United States. They traveled well into their senior years.
Lorraine worked in retail throughout her life, most recently at TJ Maxx until she finally retired at age 84. Many shoppers recognized her for her striking white hair, well put together style and friendly personality. She was a very proud and devoted wife, mother, grandmother of 11 and great grandmother of 17. She embraced all the times spent being around her loving family. The holiday season was her dearest blessing.
She is survived by her brothers, Armand (Speed) and Sandi Lacombe of Manchester, Robert and Pauline Lacombe of Manchester, Roger and Jeanne Lacombe of Roanoke Virginia. Her children include daughters Linda Bissonnette, Michelle (Russell) Bournival of Manchester, sons Ronald (Lisa) Turcotte of Kingston Massachusetts, Michael (Marlene) Turcotte of Goffstown.

Great Grandchildren: Lilly, Holley, Nash, Chloe, Noah, Charlotte, Madeline, Logan, Caden, Johanna, William, Emilie, Benjamin, Riley, Mason, Henry and Charlie. And many nieces and nephews.

Dear Michelle and family, may your hearts be comforted on the passing of your mother. We remember the many times we went camping in North Conway and Lorraine was a natural at it. Great memories for all of us.
With all our love, Ken and Pat

To all the members of Aunt Lorraine´s family:
Please accept my deepest sympathies in the loss of your beloved Mother, Aunt Lorraine. Her big as gold heart opened her door to all. She was genuinely interested in all of her extended family and took great pleasure in keeping abreast of the current events in their lives. She has surely moved up and has now joined hands, once again, with Uncle Ray.
Love,
Denise
