Mahoney, Lorraine M. SARATOGA SPRINGS Lorraine M. Mahoney, 89, passed away peacefully to her eternal reward on March 12, 2015, at Saratoga Hospital. She was born in Alexandria Bay on November 22, 1925, and was the youngest daughter of the late Carl and Hazel Miller and sister to the late Jacquin Mitchell. Lorraine was a graduate of the Rochester School of Nursing. She worked as an operating room nurse at Albany Medical Center for 15 years until the birth of her son when she sacrificed her career to become a dedicated homemaker and mother. On February 19, 1958, Lorraine married the late Hon. A. Franklin Mahoney and they shared a blessed union of 36 years until his passing in 1994. Over the years Lorraine has been a parishioner of St. Francis D'Sales, St. Jude's, St. Clement's, and most recently the Church of St. Peter. A devout Catholic, she took great joy in dedicating her time and efforts to assist many organizations and helping others who were less fortunate. In her younger years, Lorraine enjoyed swimming laps in her backyard pool and knitting sweaters, scarves and hats for anyone who requested. It was hard to find anyone she knew who didn't have one of Lorraine's special sweaters. Later years were occupied by reading biographies of politicians, crossword puzzles and spending as much time as possible with her grandchildren. Her family was blessed to have her living within their home for the past 12 years. Lorraine is survived by her son, Franklin (Celeste); her cherished grandchildren, Amelia, August, and Aleksandr; as well as many nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, at 10 a.m., at the Church of St. Peter, 241 Broadway, Saratoga Springs. Inurnment will follow at St. Peter's Cemetery, Oakwood Avenue, Troy. Online remembrances may be made at burkefuneralhome.com.
