Lorraine Theresa Phaneuf

Like her husband Fern, her greatest joy in life was her family, and she was surrounded by them as she passed. Lorraine is survived by her two children, Anne Falvey and Michael Phaneuf, and his husband John Moniz, III: her grandchildren, Christopher Syrek and his wife Tori, Gregory Syrek, Sean Falvey, Jessie Phaneuf-Moniz, and Anthony Phaneuf-Moniz, and her great granddaughters Grace Anne and Abigail Jess Syrek. She is preceded in death by her husband Fern Phaneuf, her best friend of over 60 years Marcella (Blaine) Goulet, and her son in-law, Daniel Syrek.

Born and raised in Putnam, CT to the late Romeo Riendeau and Irene (Beausoleil) Riendeau, she attended Putnam High School and graduated with the class of 1953. Shortly after marrying Fern in 1955, they started one of their entrepreneurial ventures, Fern's Radio & TV, later known as Fern's Radio, as the successful sales and service distributor of Motorola Products. They also owned and opened Guardian Answering Service, In-Touch Communications, and Tower Sites, Inc. Lorriane also was involved in real estate running her own property management company, Lorraine Phaneuf Realty.

She volunteered alongside her husband Fern at the Woodstock Fair, who served as General Manager for 27 years. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening and her flowers. However her greatest joy was the time spent with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
