Lorraine M. Brown

Lorraine was the daughter of Carl Fredolph and Marion H (Corbran) Hultin. She was predeceased by her husband, William H. Brown; her son Brian W. Smith Sr.; her granddaughter, Ashley May Saxton; six brothers, Wallace, Kenneth, Robert, Lawrence, Leonard, and Eugene; four sisters, Dorothy, Pearl, Eleanor and one sister who was still born. Also, her cherished canine companion, Queenie.

Lorraine is survived by her children, Diane L. Speadling of Falconer, NY; Ann L. Smith, Nancy L. Smith, and Robert J. Smith, all of Jamestown, NY. Her legacy lives on through her 13 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great-grandchildren, each of whom she adored and held close to her heart. She also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.

Her career as a custodian at Jamestown Community College was defined by dedication and a strong work ethic, where she left a lasting impact on all those she encountered. Lorraine’s life was filled with passions that brought joy both to herself and to those around her. A true enthusiast of yard sales and flea markets, she was renowned for her keen eye and fierce negotiation skills, always on the hunt for a good deal. Her collection of baby dolls and stuffed animals was something she completely cherished.

Lorraine found great joy in completing jigsaw puzzles, a testament to her patience and tenacity. Her competitive spirit shone brightly during card games, with her sisters, and her love for gambling and casinos was a well-known fact – where she often boasted of her frequent wins, a streak that seemed never-ending.

Her love for her family was fierce and unconditional, a guiding light that illuminated the paths of all who were fortunate enough to know her. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth, resilience, and enduring love. She will be dearly missed and forever remembered by those who loved her. May her soul rest in peace, surrounded by the love she so generously shared in life.

Her funeral service will be Saturday, May 30, 2026, at 4 pm in the Falconer Funeral Home. Family will receive friends from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Saturday at the funeral home. Pastor Doug Penhollow will officiate. Inurnment will be in Pine Hill Cemetery.
