Lorraine Neher Ross, age 78, of Blue Ridge passed away on August 18, 2021. Mrs. Ross was born in LaPort, Indiana on August 15, 1943 to the late Cletus and Ruby Neher. Most people knew her as Lorrie but her favorite name was "GRAMMY". Lorrie grew up in Columbus, Ohio. As a young girl she was very involved in church, school, and volunteering in summer as a lifeguard. She attended Linden-McKinley High School where she was a drama student, captain of cheerleaders, homecoming queen, and prom queen. There she met and fell in love with a lineman on the football team and they married shortly after graduation. While attending nursing school in Columbus, Lorrie & Ray began their family and had 3 boys. Lorrie worked as a nurse in Columbus until moving to Atlanta in 1980. With the move, Lorrie changed careers and was in retail management with Causal Corner, Rich's/Macys, and Home Depot in the Atlanta area until moving to Blue Ridge in 2001 to be close to her grandchildren. Lorrie was in retail management for over 30 years before retiring from Home Depot. She is survived by her sons and their spouses, Scott and Eilene Ross of Lawrenceville, Sam and Elizabeth Ross of Atlanta, and David and Tonia Ross of Blue Ridge and her beloved grandchildren, Spencer, Madeline, Grant Dakota, and Murphy. Lorries wishes were to be cremated and a memorial service will be scheduled at a later date. Condolences can be sent to the family online at www.akinsfuneralhome.com.
