Lorraine Rita Falkiewicz

Lorraine was born March 26, 1939, in Brooklyn, NY to the late Michael and Catherine Deutsch. She lived in New York before moving with her family to Raleigh, NC in 1995. She was the proud wife to a New York City Police Officer, a loving mother, and devoted caretaker to her aging parents.

Lorraine will be remembered for her deep love of family, her sharp wit, genuine affection for animals, her devotion to the Blessed Mother through the Rosary, and her unwavering Catholic faith.
