Lorraine will be remembered for her love for family gatherings which always included enormous amounts of home cooked food. She was more than willing to give up her time to sew clothes, crafts and curtains for her family and neighbors. Lorraine would enjoy one but only one glass of wine a day, lobster rolls, ice-cream, steamers and most of all her family.

So very sorry for the loss of your beloved mom, Gerry, Peggy and family
So sorry for your loss of your mother. I will always remember the Italian dinners at the Sarnie’s, they smelled so good and were always homemade.
So sorry for the loss of your much loved Mom! She was such a a wonderful person. She helped me get a job at Fields Hosiery back in the 70’s. She also made my wedding gown. She worked at Polaroid with Andy. She will be greatly missed!
Lorraine was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. She will always have a place in my heart. There are so many memories as we were neighbors. She actually made my wedding dress. My heart goes out for the Sarnie family. I was so lucky to see her a few years ago at my brother Ron’s barbecue. She will always have a place in my heart.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Our deepest condolences to your family
She was an amazing lady, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend who raised her beautiful family to be not just beautiful inside and out, but also, always opened her arms and heart to someone else like me when I was still around her family in Massachusetts. She always kept herself busy cooking, doing crafts and puzzles, playing card games on a computer. (That’s what I always admired her as well.) I found her a missing puzzle at her house and still remember she sent me a message to thank me for it even it was just a little thing. She also reached out to congrat me when I passed a road test for my driver license that Lorraine, her kind daughter, taught and took me to. She will always be missed. Our thoughts are with your family. I wish I could give you hugs not virtually but physically. Stay strong together and forever
