Lorraine Winifred Buckley

Born in Winthrop MA and raised in Revere MA, Lorraine graduated from Immaculate Conception High School and completed secretarial training at the Chandler School for Women.

Lorraine and her late husband of 57 years, Eugene P. Buckley, raised three children in Saugus MA – Susan Buckley, Patricia (Buckley) Lomakin, and Michael Buckley – before retiring to Hopkinton NH. She and Gene developed new friendships in and around Elm Brook Village and Lorraine thrived in New Hampshire quilting circles. Lorraine was an active member of several local guilds, teaching classes, working at a quilt shop, and winning several blue ribbons in competitions. Through quilting, Lorraine found community and expressed her great creativity and eye for detail.

In addition to her three children and her daughter-in-law, Marianne Quinn, Lorraine is survived by seven grandchildren: Andrew Beliveau, Jessica (Beliveau) Genova, Alex Lomakin, Timothy Beliveau, Julia (Lomakin) Jones, Caitlin Buckley, and Quinn Buckley; their spouses Marcy (Slovin) Beliveau, Andrew Genova, Jenna Sacramone, and Andrew Jones; and five great-grandchildren: Nico Genova, Max Beliveau, Luca Lomakin, Mia Genova, and Savannah Jones.

Lorraine’s family is deeply grateful to the staff at the Bowman Place memory care unit for the love and care for they showed her every day.
