Lorraine Marie Fahey

She was born on September 12, 1930 in Keene, NH to the late Leona (Spring) and Donri Boufford and attended area schools.

On August 4, 1950, Lorraine married William Fahey, III. They celebrated 48 wonderful years together until William’s passing in 1998.

Lorraine received her nursing degree from Keene Nursing School. She began her career employed by Elliot Hospital in Keene, beginning as an ER Nurse. She was a critical contributor to researching and designing Cheshire Medical Center ICU/Critical Care unit due to her expertise. She had also worked at Eden Park Nursing Home in Brattleboro, VT for 15 years and retired from PortaMedic. Together she and her husband also owned their own real estate business.

William and Lorraine love dancing and were amazing jitterbug partners. They enjoyed fishing, camping, and the great outdoors with the whole family. Lorraine was a caregiver at heart and cherished being able to play an active role in her grandchildren’s lives in this way.

Lorraine will be deeply missed by her children: Bill Fahey and his wife Mary Lynn of Greenland, NH, Debra (Fahey) Clark of Westmoreland, NH, and Marie Glinski of Hollywood, FL; grandchildren: Christine Marie of Seattle, WA; Joshua Fahey of Hollywood, FL, and Timothy, Piper, and Kevin Fahey all of Greenland, NH; great-granddaughters: Gabriella and Sabrina, of Seattle WA, brother: Edward “Pete” Boufford of Keene, NH; dear friend, caretaker, and companion of nine years: Eva “Casey” Ghee of Westmoreland, NH; and close friend Anthony Giannetti , also of Westmoreland, NH.
