Lorraine Marie Reynolds, age 98, of Epworth, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 6, 2026 at her home. She was born on June 24, 1928 to the late Victor Vadnais and Alice Vadnais.

She is preceded in death by her husband, William Reynolds; daughter, Maureen Childress; sister, Claire Eidenire; and grandchild, Gregory Finch.

Lorraine is survived by her daughter, MaryAnne Martin; grandchildren, Allison Martin, Christopher (Linsey) Martin, Laura Boswell, and Heather (Dr. Charlie) Stankard, Bryan Finch; great-grandchildren, Carsyn Martin, and Stetton Martin; Cody (Rachel) Boswell, Bo (Lainie) Boswell, Lauren Boswell, Matthew (Kristin) Stankard, Sarah Stankard, William Stankard, Samuel Stankard, and great-great-grandchildren, Sophie Boswell, Rhett Boswell, and James Boswell; nieces, Peggy Gray, and Vicki (Steve) Dunkerly; and great-niece, Kristin Gray.

For nearly a century, she lived a life defined by hard work, unwavering faith, and selfless love. She was the kind of person who always placed the needs of others before her own, constantly caring for her family, friends, and neighbors. Her generous heart, gentle spirit, and quiet strength left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

A devoted Catholic, she was a longtime member of Saint Anthony's Catholic Church, where her faith guided her throughout her life. She found comfort and purpose in her relationship with God and faithfully lived the values of compassion, humility, and service. Her church family was an important part of her life, and she remained steadfast in her devotion through the years.

She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and friend whose greatest joy came from her family. Whether offering a helping hand, a warm meal, a listening ear, or heartfelt prayers, she made those around her feel loved and supported. Her tireless work ethic and willingness to sacrifice for others created a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations.

Although our hearts are saddened by her passing, we are comforted by the countless memories she leaves behind and the example she set through a life of kindness, faith, and unconditional love. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who were blessed to know her.

May she rest in the eternal peace of God's loving embrace.
