Lorraine Viola Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Berarducci Funeral Home & Cremation Care Center - Providence on Dec. 27, 2025.
Lorraine Viola, 64, of Warwick, passed away on December 20th, 2025. She was a beloved mother, sister, and aunt, deeply cherished by her family and friends. Born to the late Guido and Louise (Mallane) Pagliaro, Lorraine is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Kaylee Viola of Warwick; her siblings, Stephen Pagliaro of Johnston and Rachel Ploude with her spouse Richard of Cranston; and her adored nieces and nephews.

Lorraine was a beautiful, intelligent, and hard-working woman. She was a devoted mother and always dedicated to her family, taking the greatest pride in being a mom. Her love for the ocean and sunbathing was matched only by her passion for cooking traditional Italian favorites, which she joyfully shared with loved ones. Lorraine was also a talented photographer and a proud businesswoman, owning and operating a photography shop in Johnston for many years. Her compassion for children led her to the BHG Treatment Center, where she cared for behaviorally challenged children, making a meaningful difference in their lives. Lorraine's legacy of love, kindness, and dedication will forever be treasured by all who knew her.

Services for Lorraine have been entrusted to the Berarducci Funeral Home and will be private.
