Lorraine Graen passed away on March 1st, 2015. She was born in New York City and always was a city girl at heart. She graduated from Hunter College and became a teacher. She met and married her husband Peter. Sailing was a great love of theirs and they would spend all of their free time on the water. Many summers were spent in the Long Island Sound, New York Harbor, and of course their favorite, the Chesapeake Bay. In later years, they moved to Florida and changed from sailboats to powerboats. They enjoyed the South Florida boating community and lifestyle. Lorraine was a passionate reader and organized her condo association's lending library for many years.
She is survived by her daughter Loretta Coyne, son-in-law Chris, granddaughters Kaitlyn and Kelly and brothers Richie, Jimmy and Bobby.
Lorraine loved sailing with her husband and always enjoyed being near the water. Please consider a donation to the Lauderdale Yacht Club Sailing Foundation, www.lycsf.org or Hospice, 5320 NW 33rd Ave. Suite 100, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309.
