Lorraine Kay Gibson (Haworth), age 83, passed away on Monday October 28th, 2019 at her home in Oceanside, California. Lorry was born on November 4, 1935 in Portland, Oregon, where she lived until the age of 19, when she joined the United States Navy. While serving as a Personnel Specialist in San Francisco, she met and married Calvin Gibson. The Marine Corps would bring the family to settle in Oceanside, California, where they raised four children.
Lorry was a devoted Catholic and member of Saint Margaret’s Catholic Church, where she once led the choir, played the piano, and taught Catechism. Following her husband’s passing, she took up competitive roller-skating with her children, winning several competitions. Lorry was a proud Sailor and Marine wife, compassionate mother, great grandmother, and aunt who will be deeply missed.
