Obituary: Lorraine A. Weston, 85, Of North Haven

NORTH HAVEN, CT — (From W.S. Clancy Branford Funeral Home): Lorraine (Rakiec) Weston was called to heaven to serve as an angel on Sunday April 24, 2022. Lorraine lived at Stevens Woods in North Haven. She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Leo Weston.

Lorraine was born September 7, 1936 in New Haven, daughter of the late Rose (Viscuso) Cavuoti and Sigmund Rakiec, Sr. She was a School Bus Monitor in North Haven for 30+ years until her retirement.

Lorraine is survived by her sons James Weston (Jackie) of Branford, and Mark Weston of Wallingford. She had four grandchildren she loved dearly. She was “Ma” to James Weston, Jr of Branford, CT, Jennifer Weston of Keene, NH, Emily Weston of North Adams, MA, and she was “Grandma” to Mark A. Weston of Wallingford. Lorraine was also predeceased by her brothers Sigmund Rakiec, Jr., and Robert Cavuoti.

Lorraine’s greatest joy in life was watching her grandchildren grow up and was very proud of everything they had accomplished. She enjoyed basking in the joy of everything they did, whether it be their Baseball games, Soccer games, Cheerleading competitions, Honor Society inductions, and High School Graduations. She was disappointed when the Pandemic began, and couldn’t attend the 2020 College Graduations for her two granddaughters.

She was loved by her family and friends, and her door was always open to anyone. Her greatest quality was her ability to listen when you just wanted to talk.

Her family would like to thank her friends at Stevens Woods, especially Dawn Carangelo and Linda Noe, who have helped her immensely over the last couple of years.

Friends may call Saturday from 4-6 p.m. at W.S. Clancy Memorial Funeral Home, 244 North Main St. Branford, CT. Burial will be private.
