Lorraine C. Desjardin

Auburn, ME - Lorraine C. Desjardin, aged 95, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her beloved family in the early evening of November 18th, 2024. Lorraine was born and raised in Chicago, where she developed a love for dancing, cooking, and being social with family and friends. She worked alongside her husband, Daniel, in his podiatrist office, exemplifying dedication and partnership.
