MAHONEY, Lorraine Ann

Born Monday February 26, 1945. Passed away Tuesday September 20, 2022.


Lorraine died suddenly and unexpectedly while a patient in a Melbourne Hospital on 20th September. She was a much loved and devoted wife of Paul for more than 56 years. She was the mother and mother-in-law of Lynne and Leigh, Tricia and Paul, Michael and Marg, Joanne and Matt, and Nicole and Damien.  She loved each one of them so much and they in turn, loved and respected her greatly. She was Naine to her 17 grandchildren who, with partners and close friends where applicable, absolutely loved her and she gave all of them so much love in return. She was so interested in all their activities especially their involvement in the various sports. Lorraine was a beautiful and caring lady who gave so much of herself to so many. Our family is absolutely heartbroken at her loss.

Rest in Peace our beautiful ‘Naine’

  10. To Marg and Den,
    We have come to know your beautiful sister and sister in law through the various family gatherings. She indeed had a special persona and gentle, kind, thoughtful manner in our conversations. Given the large family, she too was interested in our life"s journey and family. This is a special gift she showed in her empathy and compassion for another's situation, whatever it may be. .
    We both felt very accepted by our times spent with Lorraine and Paul. What a loving couple. The love they displayed to each other was obvious.
    Grief is the price we pay for love. How true. Our faith tells us we shall meet again.
    We give thanks for knowing Lorraine and may she be rewarded for her many special qualities with the Lord. Her example will live on through her children, siblings, grandchildren,nephews and nieces and great nephews and nieces. Love Patrick and Teresa

Her presence will be missed by you and also the Colac Community. She was an inspirational teacher at St Mary's. A good teacher can teach talented children, but it takes a great teacher to teach the less talented children. Lorraine was a GREAT teacher. May she Rest In Peace. Aileen & Ron Kettle & Family.

  114. Just over 30 years ago we started our long association with Sacred Heart Primary School and I was fortunate to meet Lorraine, who was working at the school at the time.
    This wonderful lady was a warm & caring part of our early days at school, and one of those people who has left a permanent reminder of the ‘beautifulness’ of people. Mum, gran, friend, family… Lorraine has left a special reminder of a gentle soul who has touched so many.
    Heartfelt gratitude to Paul & the family for sharing this wonderful woman with us.
