Lorraine P. (St. Pierre) Masse

AUBURN – Lorraine P. Masse, 91, of Auburn was welcomed by the Lord with open arms on the 16th of January 2024, at Clover Manor Healthcare.

Lorraine was born in Augusta on Jan. 21, 1932, the daughter of the late Albert and Laurence (Roy) St. Pierre. Lorraine was raised by her mother and step-father Romeo Turgeon in Lewiston.

Lorraine was a hard worker and dedicated mother. During her 42 years at St. Mary’s Hospital in the Nursery, while raising her five children, she was able to observe the birth of all of her grandchildren, something she bragged about often with pride.

She loved spending time with her family and traveling with the love of her life Normand. They went on many trips building wonderful memories, including California, Hawaii, Alaska, Germany, France, England, and Italy. They enjoyed camping and had a winter home in Vero Beach, Fla. for several years.

She is survived by her daughter Diane Beaucage, her three sons Robert Masse and wife JoNell, Richard Masse and wife Cathy, Raymond Masse and wife Kim, and daughter Michele Brewer and husband Anthony.
