Lorraine Lisi was always checking in with the people she
loved. She would call her parents a couple of times a day,
and her nephew, nieces and friends, to ask if they were okay
and if they needed anything. That is what is so hard now;
she doesn't call.
Lorraine loved children and was always ready with a toy,
a book or candy. She was everyone's aunt. Her favorite holiday
was Christmas. She found so much joy in watching family and
friends opening the gifts she'd bought. This year there will
be no gifts from Aunt Lorraine.

Lorraine was an intelligent, hands-on manager.
She always strived to achieve perfection and encouraged others
to do the same. She often said, "I can't" but, in
reality, nothing could stand in her way. She was a kind, caring,
understanding and generous individual.
She was not just a colleague to those who knew
her; she was part of their family. She proudly hung pictures
of our children in her office and looked forward to their
visits. Lorraine always put others ahead of herself. She will
forever be remembered in our hearts.
Favorite quotes from Lorraine:
"I can't."
"My nerves."
"I'm not paying you."
"Who has chocolate?" (except during Lent)
"Where's my Coach bag?"
"What planet are they on,
because I want to go there."
