Loraine Anna Reid

She was born in Hamlin, NY, on December 17, 1924, the daughter of Frank and Ella (Lotzow) Klafehn. She graduated from Brockport Central High School in 1942.

She married Melvin H. Reid in a ceremony held in Hamlin, NY on May 15, 1948. They lived in Brockport until 1959 when they relocated to Concord, NH and to Keene, NH in 1972.

Loraine worked at various stores in Keene including Goodnows, Clay’s, and most recently Cards of Joy. She also volunteered at the Cheshire Medical Center.

Loraine enjoyed traveling to Myrtle Beach with her husband. Her true passion was her family and she was especially fond of her grand and great-grandchildren. Loraine was known for being very tidy and for her cooking and baking skills. No one could make a grilled cheese quite like Loraine; they will be greatly missed.
