Lorraine Waguespack

Lorraine retired as a Mortgage Loan Officer, a role that reflected her reliability and care for others. She found genuine joy in simple, lasting pleasures like sports, working in her garden, and, most of all, spending time with her family. She was also a familiar presence at Mandeville Bake Shop, where she spent 6 out of 7 days.

Lorraine was preceded in death by her husband of 41 years, Wilson Joseph Waguespack; her sisters, Carol Reed (Donald) and Doris Gabriel; and her brothers, Roland Hosch (Shirell), Clarence G. Hosch, Henry W. Hosch, Jr, and Donald J. Hosch.

She is survived by her daughters, Tonia Costa (Tim) and Tiffany Mire (Heath); her grandchildren, Ashley Pursell, Maylen Mire, Chancelor Mire (Ellie), and Landen Mire; her great-grandchildren, Sonny Johns and Mayzie Pursell; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.

The family extends special thanks to Compassus Hospice, especially Ashley, Stella, Danielle, Diana, Hallie, and Heather, for their compassionate care and support. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Compassus Hospice.
