Lorraine Carol Ruiz

Lorraine was a devoted wife, loving mother, and cherished grandmother and aunt whose life was defined by her compassion for others. She was the kind of person who would help anyone who came her way, always putting others before herself. Her strength carried her family through life’s challenges, and her warmth made everyone feel welcome and cared for.

Lorraine dedicated many years of her life working for Northrop Grumman as an airplane mechanic, where she took great pride in her work—especially her contributions to the B-2 program. Her work ethic, skill, and dedication were a reflection of the strength and determination she carried throughout her life.

She is survived by her beloved husband; her children, Monique, Eugene, and Jose, who were the center of her world; her grandchildren, whom she loved deeply; as well as her brothers and sisters, and many cousins and extended family members who loved her dearly. Lorraine’s love extended far beyond her immediate family, touching the lives of friends, neighbors, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents, her older brother John, and her older sister Conchita.

Lorraine will be remembered for her selfless heart, her quiet strength, and the way she showed up for others without hesitation. Her memory will live on in the lives she touched and the love she gave so generously.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
