Each of these towns held memories of her caring nature and her commitment to family and faith.

Lorraine was known for her vivacious personality and her genuine love for those around her. She had a fondness for gambling, thriving at the slots and enjoying card games, activities that brought her joy and excitement. Lorraine also had a sweet tooth, particularly for cookies, which she relished, delighting in the simple pleasures of life. She shared a special bond with her dog, Pepper, reflecting her nurturing spirit and the caring nature that defined her relationships.

She is survived by her daughter, Kelly Guziewski(Peter), and her cherished grandchildren, Paul and Jason Guziewski, and Julia Class. Lorraine is also fondly remembered by her sister, Shirley Prue. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Harold, and her son, Kevin Class. Lorraine leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth that will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
