AUBURN — Lorraine Caron, 87, passed away April 17, surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was born and raised in Auburn and raised her children in Sabattus. She will be sadly missed by all she touched, with her loving heart, humor and great spirit. She was passionate about family, children, nature, animals and the underdogs.

Besides her unconditional love, she had many talents ranging from traditional sewing, cooking, baking, knitting and crocheting, as well as a pioneer “do-it-yourselfer,” doing home improvements.

She requested we express her appreciation to Dr. Paul Raczynski, Dr. Pyenta (Telly), Dr. James Parker, the staff of St. Mary’s ER and Cardio Pulmonary Departments, Clover Manor, Androscoggin Hospice House and United Ambulance. We are forever grateful for their compassionate care.
