Lorraine Ruth Nufrio, 91, formerly of Millburn, New Jersey and of Palmetto, Florida passed away peacefully while surrounded by her three children, the morning of Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at the Largo Medical Center in Florida. Lorraine was born in Newark, New Jersey. Lorraine was married to Ernest P. Nufrio, a distinguished photographer and dedicated husband of over 60 years, who predeceased her in 2014. Lorraine is survived by two sons David Nufrio and Marc E. Nufrio, daughter Caryn Lerman, and her loving grandchildren Edward and Andrew Nufrio, Ryan E. Nufrio, Patrice and Michael Chiaramonte, and many nieces, nephews and extended family members and numerous friends.
A loving and caring wife, a studio manager, a creative business woman, a teacher, mother, aunt, grandmother, she was a true friend to all she met and encountered. She especially found pleasure and took pride in working with students first as a teacher and then with photography, something she never stopped doing, even up to the time of her passing. Her clear dedication to teachers, students, and others through the photography business she oversaw for more than 50 years, helped seamlessly capture life’s milestones and preserve for generations significant memories, all impacted by Lorraine’s expert attention to detail. She loved interacting with all of her grandchildren, family and friends, which was very important to her both at the holidays and year round.
In a private ceremony Lorraine will be peacefully laid to rest next to her husband at the Woodlawn Memorial Park in Gotha, Florida. A service mass and joyful repast to celebrate Lorraine's life will take place at a future date in New Jersey. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family asks all to keep Lorraine’s desire and determination to assist others in mind, and make a donation to one’s favorite charity, organization or institution on her behalf.
