Lorraine Meyer 2015 (Center)

Many in the Society will be greatly saddened by the passing of Lorraine Meyer. She was a deliriously fun loving individual, enterprisingly intelligent, and was one of the best storytellers I've ever met. She constantly contributed to the Society's success and the loss of her talents and energy will be far felt by our community.

Lorraine's obituary reads:

Lorraine was born August 19, 1932, to Raymond and Hildred Nash in New York.

She married George R. Meyer, celebrating 58 years of marriage, upon his passing in 2012. Together they had traveled and worked around the globe.

To chronical her life would involve writing a small novel, something we had often suggested that she do! Many will remember her successful antique business and summer yard sales, as well as her knack for telling her stories. She was an amazing woman and will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She is survived by her four children, JoAnn Doke, Terrie Nickerson and her husband Ellery Nickerson, Jamie Meyer and her fiancé Michael Kenny, Michael Meyer and his wife Pam Meyer; her eight grandchildren, Charles Doke, Robyn Doke and her fiancé Chris Davis, Levi Nickerson, Lindsay Tompson and her husband Travis Tompson, Dana Therrien and her fiancé Bruce Patch, Keith Therrien and his wife Erika Therrien, Jennifer Torr and her husband Ryan Torr, Jared Meyer and his wife Jenna Meyer; her six great-grandchildren, Kayla, Sara, Lauren, Kaden, Steven and Curt; and her three great-great-grandchildren, Ciara, Charlie and Benjamin.

Also survived by her brother Orville Moss, her sister-in-law Georgene Meyer and many nieces, nephews, cousins and in laws.

She was predeceased by her brother Kevin Nash, her sister and brother-in-laws Patricia and Louis Caldarola, her brother-in-law Richard Meyer and her son-in-law Charles Doke.

The family would like to thank the many friends and Cornerstone VNA/Hospice for the excellent care given to our mother during her final days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Cornerstone VNA, 178 Farmington Road, Rochester, NH 03867.
