On March 6th, 2025, Lorraine Blanchard, 65, returned to God's doors and was reunited with her late husband, Wayne. Lorraine was a faithful servant of the Lord born on December 13, 1959, in Methuen MA. Lorraine was loved by many. Together, Wayne and Lorraine had Jeremy and Nathan Blanchard. Lorraine loved to give back to others and to go to church; expressing her love and compassion through giving and serving those in need. 

Lorraine leaves behind two loving sons, Jeremy and his wife Kelsey (Crocker) Blanchard of Farmington and Nathan with his partner Justine of Raymond. Lorraine also had two siblings, Linda Levesque and Joe Levesque; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Her granddaughter, Ryleigh, was the light of her life and could always make her smile. Lorraine's love will never be forgotten. She is now at peace in the arms of her Savior.
