It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Martha Lorino, who left this world peacefully on September 18, 2024. Born on October 17, 1927, in Germany, Martha migrated to the United States after World War II. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who touched the lives of many with her warmth and kindness.
Martha was predeceased by her cherished husband, Santo Lorino and her daughter, Bella Dorsey. Martha is survived by her daughter Tonita Grabel, stepchildren Josephine Jimenez and Eugene Lorino, and her loving brother, Alfred, the last of her eight siblings. She was the proud grandmother of eight, and a doting great-grandmother of fifteen more, who were the light of her life.
Martha's strong spirit and loving nature will be remembered by all who knew her. Her legacy of love and family values will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
Rest in peace, dear Martha. You will be dearly missed.
