Lorraine Tracy

RICHFORD - Lorraine E. Tracy, age 89, passed away on Monday, October 23, 2023 at her home in St. Albans.

She was born in Sheldon on January 7, 1934 to the late Anthony & Eva (Machia) Burns.

Lorraine lived a life filled with love, joy, and cherished moments. She was a compassionate homemaker, dedicated to raising her beautiful family. She also worked on the family farm, at the dry cleaners in Richford, the hockey stick factory, sewing factory, and as a cook at the Pine Cone for many years.

Throughout her life, Lorraine found solace in the simple joys that brought her happiness. She had a deep love for reading, watching country western movies, playing the card game 500, square dancing and clogging, and immersed herself in various crafts. Her gentle spirit and warmth shone through every piece she created.

But perhaps Lorraine's true joy resided in the company of her extensive family. Family gatherings and holidays were always cherished occasions where Lorraine's heart swelled with love and contentment, seeing her loved ones come together to create everlasting memories. Her presence filled the room with joy, and her smile was a beacon of love that lit up the hearts of those around her. She will truly be missed by so many members of her family and friends.
