Lorraine Ward Obituary

I JUST found out (on the day that Queen Elizabeth II passed away.) 2 months late that my mentor, Lorraine, had passed away As important a person that QE was it does not compare to losing the person that Lorraine Ward was while on this earth. I loved her and my biggest regret was losing sight and contact with her over the years. I will pray to her as in my opinion she was one of the most holiest and human women I have ever known. I KNOW she is bathing in God’s love and light and that God holds her as a modern day Saint!

Wishing you my deepest condolences!! Many wonderful memories of your mother and father. Barbara

I will always remember Mrs. Ward as I called her. I was Blessed to know the Ward Family....Thank you for the wonderful memories.... I am deeply Sorry for your loss

Our deepest sympathies to you all.
Love The Pupo´s

I will remember Lorraine for the friendship we shared over fifty years . She was a spiritual inspiration
to me since our days at St Luke's Nursing School . Sympathy to tke Ward 's Family .

Love to the Ward Family! I gratefully remember Lorraine’s assistance at nursing home masses when I helped Father Murphy!

We are saddened to learn of Lorraine's passing. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences to the Ward family and freinds.

Lorraine was a wonderful dedicated ray of Sunshine when she would bring Dad´s communion. A blessing in herself, her dedication to our Lord, was inspirational! Dear, dear, Lorraine

My sincere condolences for the loss of your mom. Whenever she needed to change her hair appt. and nothing was available she just smiled and said I'll pray on it...and you know something always opened up. A woman of great faith and is surely with the Lord. Rest well Lorraine.

I´m am truly sorry for your loss. Lorraine was such a wonderful person and an amazing friend to my mother. My mom was so very blessed to have had her in her life. My thoughts and prayers to you all.

One time when I was playing bass with Tim Ward's group, one of the featured performers hadn't shown up, a gig at the old Helsinki in Barrington. Tim's mom told me she was praying this musician would get there, moments later the famous jazz sax player arrived. She looked at me with this beautiful expression, and I believe is anyone ever had a direct channel for these kind of communications it was Mrs. Ward.

Don, Greg, Mike and Tim:
We send our deepest sympathy. We knew your mom from going to Marion Fathers. We were inspired by her faith and devotion. We were all blessed to know her. Bob and Suzanne

Such a blessing, wonderful person. Ted.

Your mom was so nice to me. I am sorry for your loss- with all she did do the whole town will miss her! Sending hugs, & prayers.

Lorraine and I were as close as sisters. Our husband's were partners at Ward's Nursery for eighteen years. Our husbands worked every day except Christmas and Easter so she and I literally raised our children with the help of each other. We became a big family together , celebrating Christmas and Easter together. We supported each other through tears and laughter. Believe me, she with seven children and me with five, we had to have a SENSE OF HUMOR in abundance. I was able to visit her the Friday before her passing. I said to her just think "soon you will see your mother, your dear husband but most of all Jesus . Then she said to me, "will I see you?". With a slight smile on my face I said I hope so , so be sure to look for me." with that I gave her a kiss and she returned my kiss. I said, ""I love you and she said, I love you too." I said goodbye my dear friend and held my tears until i left her room and walked down the hallway. A nice young man put his arm on my shoulder and said sometimes I cry too and led me to the front door to the outside. We had such a nice group of friends and all but three of us have gone to Heaven. Rest in peace my dear friend. I hope to see you in a far better place.

Dear Ward Family, I'm so sorry for the loss of your lovely mother. I didn't know her personally but was always struck by her kindness when she was in the nursery. She always had a smile for someone she didn't know and a sweet hello. Great Barrington has lost a friend but is better for her presence here.
