Lorraine Ridgeway

December 4, 1950 - March 18, 2014


Lorraine R. Ridgeway was born to Edison St. Verily and Gwendolyn Mahalia (Brown) Ridgway on December 4, 1950 in Jamaica, West Indies.

In her late 20s, Lorraine immigrated to the United States. She worked for the Westchester Marriott Hotel in Tarrytown, New York. Throughout her 25 plus years with the Westchester Marriott Hotel, Lorraine received many recognition awards, some of which were for her commitments, dedication and achievements.

Lorraine was a member of the Bethel Baptist Church in White Plains, New York.

Throughout her life she was full of strength, determination and love. Lorraine was known for her ease in conversation with friends, family and even with total strangers that won the trust and hearts of many.

Her caring nature, her willingness to forgive and her smiles will never be forgotten.

Lorraine is survived by her two children: Debbie A. Bhoorasingh and Paula L. Chablal, of White Plains, New York; her mother: Gwendolyn Ridgway, Sisters: Eleanor, Llama, Winsome, Marie, Marcia, Caulette, brothers: Lloyd, Leroy, Erwin and eighteen nieces and nephews.

Words cannot express how great a blessing God gave us to have a daughter, a sister, a mother and a wonderful friend like Lorraine.



SILENT TEAR

Each night we shed a silent tear,

As we speak to you in prayer.

To let you know we love you,

And just how much we care.

Take our million tear drops,

Wrap them up in love,

Then ask the wind to carry them,

To you in heaven above.

Lorraine, we will always keep you in our hearts. We love you.
