Lorraine Paradise Obituary
Lorraine was born in New Haven on Oct. 16, 1934, daughter of the late James and Angelica DeFilippi DeFilippo; and had worked as an office worker for the former Rudnick's & Sons of North Haven. Lorraine was a loving mother and grandmother who dedicated herself to her family whom she loved unconditionally.
She was the mother of Patty (Brian) Averna and Susan (Kenneth) Mappa; grandmother of Daniel (Lauren) Averna, Nicholas (fiancé Kayce Hicks) Averna and Tiana Mappa. She was also survived by many nieces, nephews; great-nieces and great-nephews. She was predeceased by a brother, Salvatore DeFilippo.
The family would like to extend a special "thank you" to Dr. Tara and the Hoot Staff, and the Yale Heart Center and staff for the excellent comfort and care they provided to Lorraine.
Her funeral procession left the North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Ave., Thursday, June 24. A Mass of Christian burial was celebrated in St. Stephen's Church. Interment was followed in the St. Lawrence Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association, 2080 Silas Deane Highway, 2nd floor, Rocky Hill, CT 06067.
