Lorraine O'Connor Obituary

O'Connor, Lorraine
BALLSTON SPA - Lorraine O'Connor, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, peacefully passed away on October 1, 2023, in Ballston Spa, at the age of 65.
She was born on September 6, 1958, to Sophie and John Doherty. Along with her cherished siblings, Susan Benning, Doreen Fuller, and John Doherty, preceding her in death were her parents, and brother, Frank Anitzberger.
Lorraine was a woman of deep faith. She found solace and strength in her connection with her God Jehovah, which guided her throughout her journey. Lorraine's life was a testament to the values of love, compassion, and humility that she held.
For over four decades, she shared a loving and devoted marriage with her husband, Richard O'Connor. Together, they built a home filled with love and cherished memories. Lorraine was a dedicated mother to her children, David O'Connor, Leah (Jason) Ruggiero, and Michael O'Connor. Showering them with endless love and support. Being a grandmother brought her immense joy, as she lovingly embraced her role as "Booma" to her grandchildren, Jaden, Chase, Aria, Mason, and Adilynn.
As we bid farewell to Lorraine O'Connor, we carry her memory in our hearts, forever grateful for the love, warmth, and steadfast faith she shared with us all.

Rich,
I remember the days when you and Lorraine were dating. We were all so young. I remember how smitten you were by her. She was a great energetic, beautiful, loyal and sassy girl. I remember tagging along on some of your dates before I was able to find a fine girl for myself. I eventually was fortunate to be married to a lady similar to Lorraine which helps me understand the depth of your loss. I don´t know what anyone could say to console me if I were to be in your shoes now. I wish that we had stayed in touch over these many years since high school my friend. Those were some happy days.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

I´m so sorry for your loss. Lorraine and I never met in person, though we were friends on Facebook and played Words with Friends for quite a while. She always told me she liked the funny stuff I put on Facebook. We also talked on the phone a couple of times. At the end, I didn´t know she was sick, I wish I´d known, I would have called to chat. I wish you all the best, and keep all the wonderful memories you have alive.
