Lorraine Hofmeister, age 90, of Poway, California passed away on Wednesday, May 20, 2020. Lorraine was born September 12, 1929 in Brooklyn, New York, where she lived until moving to San Diego, California in the mid-1990s. She was married for over 50 years to her husband Charlie, who pre-deceased her in 2011. While in Brooklyn, Lorraine worked for over 20 years as a teacher’s assistant, and was particularly fond of working with young kindergartners and first/second graders.
Lorraine had a lifelong passion for baseball and for travel, and in recent years, bingo. She loved watching her home ball teams (New York Yankees and later, San Diego Padres), and could talk about all the players and even their statistics. She and Charlie traveled all over the world, with shared memories spanning Australia, China, Russia, Europe, the Holy Land and numerous cruises. They also enjoyed the performing arts, attending numerous theatre productions across San Diego.
Lorraine’s Catholic faith was extremely important to her and sparked her generosity – she regularly supported dozens of Catholic and secular charities, and was very prayerful. She leaves behind friends and family on both coasts, and is survived by her sisters Yvonne and Claire, and her brother Albert.
