Born May 14, 1929 in Butte, MT, Lorraine graduated from Butte High School.
In 1950, she married Dr. Robert T. Huddleston and they moved to Omaha, NE before settling in Spokane, WA to establish his medical practice and to raise their family.
Lorraine will be rejoining her husband of 57 years and their daughter Mary Kathryn, who preceded her in death (April, 2008).

Lorraine is also survived by 16 grandchildren and their respective spouses, 6 great-grandchildren, Jack (Marion) Huddleston of Concord, CA, and Arlene Huddleston and Anna Jean Nagelhout of Grants Pass, OR.
Lorraine will forever be in our hearts and remembered for her loving nature, strength, resilience, spirited personality, devotion to family, friends and faith, and enjoyment of all things “Butte” and “Irish.”

The family extends our heartfelt gratitude to home caregivers Jane and Katarina, the staff at Providence St. Peter Hospital, Olympia, and Providence Home Care and Hospice.
