Lorraine Crisp's Obituary

After graduating from high school, Lorraine began a career which led to real estate sales. On October 17th, 1979, she married the love of her life, Robert P. Crisp. In 1988, Lorraine would retire and begin to get involved in horse breeding and racing, a major hobby of hers. She and Robert lived in Florida, living in St. Petersburg and then Palm Harbor. Lorraine was a member of St. Matthias Lutheran Church in Safety Harbor, FL.
Lorraine was a generous and caring soul, committed to her family and often quite forthright with everyone. Her hobbies beyond horses included fishing, traveling, farming, spending quality time with family, and of course, antiquing. She enjoyed a wide variety in music, from country western to classical, her two favorite genres. She had many close friends such as Lee and Gene Ralls, Carl and Sandra McBee, Beverly Thurman, and Betty Colhoun, and her loving son-in-law Ken Blanton who helped care for her for many years.
Lorraine would go on to her eternal reward on Monday, April 15th, 2024, in Fairmont, NC, surrounded by her loved ones.
