HOLDEN – Lorraine D. (Comtois) Raymond, 62, of Holden, passed away peacefully under the loving care of her family and the staff in the 6th floor Intensive Care Unit at UMass Memorial Healthcare University Campus, Worcester on Saturday, November 22, 2014. Lorraine was born and raised in Worcester and lived 40 years in Holden.
Lorraine graduated from Holy Name High School in Worcester and married the love of her life, Richard A. Raymond in 1974. She worked as a secretary at Wachusett Regional High School in Holden and coached the varsity football cheerleading squad for several years.
She was a devoted wife, mother, daughter and friend. Lorraine was her happiest at family gatherings, at the beach house in Maine or any occasion that would bring her closer to her loved ones. Despite being presented with ailing health throughout the last several years, Lorraine never complained and met every challenge with dignity and courage. She was always grateful to everyone who supported her with their encouragement and love. She was most appreciative of organ donors and their families, having been the recipient of a liver as well as a kidney transplant, which extended her time with family and friends.
Lorraine’s family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the dedicated staff at Vibra Hospital – The Meadows in Leicester, and the caregivers at UMass Memorial – Lake Ave., for their exemplary care and compassion.
Her beloved husband of 40 years, Richard “Rick” A. Raymond died May 19, of this year. She is survived by her son, Matthew J. Raymond of Holden; her parents, Wilfred O. and Adrienne M. (Gauthier) Comtois of Auburn; a brother, Paul A. Comtois and his partner, Jackie of Ludlow; two sisters, Lucille M. Talbot and her husband, Richard of Worcester and Jacqueline R. Livingstone and her partner, Robert J. Daigneault of Auburn; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Lorraine’s family from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, November 29, at the Miles Funeral Home, 1158 Main Street (Rte. 122A), Holden, followed by a funeral service honoring her life at 6 p.m. Interment will be held privately at Notre Dame Cemetery in Worcester.
