Lorraine Shaheen

Lorraine was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to all. She graduated from Belle Rose High School and Charity Hospital School of Nursing. She lived a life dedicated to her family, faith, and community. She touched the lives of many and left behind a legacy of selflessness, humility and kindness. Her devotion to her Catholic faith was an integral part of her life. Unwavering faith guided her actions and interactions with others. She was known for her compassionate nature, her ability to listen with empathy, and her willingness to help those in need. Her selfless spirit and generous heart were evident in her many acts of kindness, both big and small, that extended to her family, friends, and strangers alike. We will remember her for the love, faith, and goodness she brought into the world. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her, and may we all strive to emulate her selfless and humble example in our own lives.
