Lorraine’s life was a testament to the power of love and family. A woman of boundless joy, she found profound happiness in the simple moments spent with those she cherished. Whether it was the sound of her grandchildren’s laughter filling her home, or the wisdom she imparted to her children, Lorraine created an enduring legacy of warmth and connection that will forever live in the hearts of those who knew her.

Known affectionately as “Sugar Pudding” to her coworkers and friends, Lorraine was a trailblazer in her career, making history as the first female quarry driver at Vulcan Materials in Lorton Va. She was passionate about her work, and driving trucks brought her a sense of pride and joy. Lorraine also had a love for adventure, enjoying travel, attending concerts, riding motorcycles, and spending time with her beloved dog, Puggles.

Her light shone brightly in every interaction, and she had a rare ability to make everyone feel like family. Lorraine’s home was always open to others, and she treated each person with the same kindness and love she gave her own family.

As we mourn her loss, we also celebrate her life—a life full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. May her memory be a source of solace and strength to those who were lucky enough to know her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
