Lorraine Curry, loving wife and mother departed this life on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at the age of 82.

Lorraine Curry was born May 29, 1936 to Patrick Henry Clarke and Cora Lee Hankins. She was one of ten children; nine of which preceded her in death.

Lorraine attended the public school system in Virginia and attended college at Washington State University. It was there that she earned her degree in Social Work. Lorraine then migrated to New York in the late 50’s to pursue her career. While there she met and married Alvin B.

Lorraine’s life was characterized by remarkable generosity, kindness, and strength. Aside from being a hardworking wife, mother, Boy Scouts Den Mother, and Past Grand Matron of the Eastern Star Masonic Lodge; she loved traveling to different Caribbean Islands and experiencing the local culture. Lorraine will be most fondly remembered for her love of Bingo.

For the last fifteen years, she resided at Trump Pavilion where she was the life of the nursing home. Everyone loved her sense of humor, her smile, her quick wit, and her love for Popeye’s!

Her husband Alvin B. Curry; sisters Mary Hankins, Dorthylee Hankins, Marjorie Hankins, Martha Graves, and Alice Barnett; brothers Richard Hankins, Moses Hankins, James Hankins, and Montoque Hankins; and her loving granddaughter Dominique Jamison preceded her in death.
