Mary Lorraine Broderick

Mary Lorraine Broderick, 76, passed away peacefully on May 19th, after a private but hard fought battle with a very aggressive form of cancer. Lorraine was a kind hearted and giving person, always had a smile on her face and lived her life helping others. Lorraine's Catholic faith was extremely important to her and she believed everything was in God’s hands. Lorraine is predeceased by her parents Albert and Mary Broderick, brother, Michael Broderick, cousins Steve Noser, Mark Noser and Steven Noser. Those who will miss her greatly include cousins Richard Noser, Tom Noser, Sherry Noser, Kelly Noser, Carlen Dobbs, Pat Vallely, and Liz Von Bergen. Also sister-in-law Ellen Broderick, and her daughters Rena, Bonni and Toni. Lorraine worked with the Cusimano family (Anita and Chris) for many years and loved them as her own family. She watched Christopher and Christian grow from children to young adults and was extremely proud of both of them.

Lorraine had countless number of friends and neighbors that she considered to be family, Cindy Horvath, Rhonda Cowan, Concetta Thomas, Carolyn Thomas, Diane Kerker, the Millers, the Deermans, the McCaws, Anna and Olivia, among many more. Lorraine worked most of her professional career at Southern Natural Gas in the MIS Department. After retiring, Lorraine took care of her Mother for years until she passed away.

Lorraine loved sports, watching them on TV, talking about them or attending events. She loved spending time with her friends and neighbors in Panama City. Lorraine just loved being around people. Last but not least, Lorraine loved her dog Daisy, who provided wonderful companionship and countless hours of walking. Sincere appreciation goes to the Bruno Cancer Center, UAB PCCU and Helping Hands, especially the kind hearted and loving assistance of Maureen O’Donnell, Gloria, Crystal, Chevell, Willie Mae, Rosie and Andrea.
