Surtz (Cynthia), Christopher Surtz (Christina), Angela Schneider (Ray), and the late Dana Nesbitt.

Our beautiful Mom, Lorraine, was guided to Heaven on March 4th, 2023. Lorraine was surrounded by her children, B.J., Christopher, and Angela, and her eldest Granddaughters, Kristen and Annie. Lorraine passed peacefully in the comfort of her home. She devoted her life to nurturing her family. She was a wonderful wife and Mother, and helped raise three generations.

She was a phenomenal gardener and cook, who demonstrated her love for others by preparing favorite recipes. Lorraine was of Italian heritage, and had mastered many Italian specialties. She also loved all animals, especially her cats and dogs.

Most of all, she prioritized her faith, through the unconditional love she shared with her family and extended family. She was a blessing to all her family and dear friends.
