Lorraine was a stenographer at the Lawrence District Courthouse and was employed there for the duration of her career. She also attended Saint Anthony’s Church in Lawrence, Massachusetts and stayed very active in social functions in the community. She was a real social butterfly; she knew everyone in the Merrimack Valley and everyone knew her.
She was the youngest of six, and loving sister to the late Florence, George, Alphonse, Joseph, and Raymond Habib. She had one niece, Mary Lee “Habib” Paré and several nephews, Michael Habib, Joel Habib, and the late William and John Habib.

The family would like to thank the staff at Nevins Nursing Home for their commitment in caring for Auntie Lorraine.
