Lorraine W. Pearson

WEST FAIRLEE - Lorraine White Pearson, 93, of West Fairlee, VT and Paisley, FL passed away peacefully in her home on August 29, 2025 surrounded by her loved ones.

Born on March 7, 1932, in Concord, VT, Lorraine was the daughter of the late Guy and Maude (Ash) White. She graduated from Thetford Academy and went on to earn her nursing degree from Barre City Hospital. Lorraine dedicated 36 years of her career to Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital.

On August 8, 1955, Lorraine married John W. Pearson. Together, they raised two beautiful daughters in West Fairlee, VT. Their home was often filled with friends, laughter, and dancing.

She had an adventurous spirit and a deep love of travel, exploring destinations across the country and around the world. Maine held a special place in her heart- especially Perkins Cove and Wells, where she cherished her annual visits. Her family fondly remembers her traditional stop at her favorite restaurant, The Steakhouse in Wells, for her order of filet mignon and a loaded baked potato.

Lorraine was an active member of her community and church. She loved singing in the choir and volunteering for events.

Lorraine is survived by her sister, Joyce Farnham, who passed away in November, 2025; her sister-in-law, Mary Miller; her daughters, Terri (Raymond) Guay and Hilary (Berry) O’Brien; her grandchildren, Samantha, Megan, Veronica, Jason, Erin, and Sean; her great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren; as well as many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, John, with whom she shared 38 years of marriage, and by her brothers, Milton and Gordon White.

A graveside service will be held at the Post Mills Cemetery in Post Mills, Vermont, on June 19, 2026 at 11:00 am.

Lorraine will be remembered for her faith, strength, and the love she showed so generously to her family and friends.

Arrangements are in the care of Hale Funeral Home in Bradford Vt.
