Lorraine A. Petit

Lorraine A. (Raymond) Petit, 79, of Swansea, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. She entered eternal rest and was reunited with her beloved mother and cherished grandson, who preceded her in death.

Born on August 21, 1946, in Fall River, Massachusetts, Lorraine was the daughter of the late Arthur Raymond and the late Loretta (Salois) Longshaw. She attended Swansea schools and later earned her GED from Bristol Community College. Throughout her life, Lorraine held various jobs, but the roles she treasured most were those of devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother, and adoring great-grandmother.

Lorraine found her greatest joy in caring for her home and family. She was a talented crafter who enjoyed creating beautiful handmade items and sharing her creativity with those she loved and those in need, knitting or crocheting hats and scarves for veterans and homeless and baby blankets for preemies. Her family was the center of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with her husband, daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her devoted husband of many years, Roger Petit; her daughters, Wendy Looker and her husband, Richard, and Kimberly Millar and her husband, Brian; her grandchildren, Shaun Burgess and his wife, Sheila, Melyssa Looker, Alex Millar, and Megan Millar; and her beloved great-grandchildren, Landon Burgess, Emarie Burgess, and Liam Chapman. Lorraine is also survived by her sister, Denise Townson and her husband, Richard; her best friend of more than 60 years, Lou Boucher, with whom she shared a lifetime of treasured memories; as well as several nieces and one nephew.

In addition to her parents, Lorraine was predeceased by her sister, Claudette Lebiecki; her brothers, Paul Raymond, Richard Raymond, and Gerard Raymond; and her beloved grandson, Wayne Robert Looker.

In accordance with Lorraine's wishes, all services will be private.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Lorraine's memory to the Wayne Robert Looker Memorial Fund at Ronald McDonald House Charities, 3925 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104.
