Lorraine A.

Perry

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Lorraine Perry, who departed this life on June 24, 2026, at the age of 84. Lorraine, a beloved daughter of the late John S. and Caroline “Kay” (Racki) Jaroszewski, was born and raised in Chelsea, where she would forever remain a cherished member of the community.

A proud graduate of St. Stanislaus Parochial School and Cardinal Cushing High School, Lorraine brought light and passion into every endeavor she pursued. On September 16, 1963, she joyfully united in marriage with Henry J. Perry, Jr., with whom she shared 63 wonderful years of love and companionship. Together, they raised their two beloved sons, Mark and Jon, crafting a family legacy rooted in devotion and joy.

Lorraine dedicated a significant part of her life to a successful career in the banking industry, culminating in her ascension to Vice President at Citizens Bank. Her professional accomplishments were complemented by her vibrant spirit, with which she embraced life’s simple pleasures—including her past involvement with the Red Hat Society, traveling the world with her travel group to destinations such as Europe, Egypt, and South America, and indulging in the thrill of Bingo and visits to Encore. She enjoyed classic movies on TCM and binge-watching Angela Lansbury in “Murder She Wrote.”

A talented artisan and craftsperson, Lorraine imparted her creative gifts upon others alongside her mother and sister, she conducted ceramic classes at K.L.N. Ceramics, and her artistry continued in recent years into crafting exquisite decorative wreaths from ribbons, a testament to her boundless creativity.

Lorraine leaves behind her beloved husband, Henry, her sons Mark Perry of Chelsea and Jon Perry, and his wife Cori of Sarasota, FL. She was also the cherished grandmother of Jayna Perry and Caroline Perry, who will forever carry her memory in their hearts. Lorraine is survived by her dear sister, Nancy MacDonald and her husband Robbie, and was predeceased by her brother, John Jaroszewski.

To honor Lorraine's remarkable life and the love she shared with all, a memorial celebration of life will be held at a future date. In this time of sorrow, we invite those who loved Lorraine to join in celebrating her life and the indelible mark she has left on each of us. May she rest in eternal peace.
