A daughter of the late Bessie (Clark) and Riley Mosher, she was the loving wife of George Keough for 61 years. Lorraine was born in Vermont but grew up in Rockland. She then moved to Hanson where she lived for 40 years, devoting her life to her family. After retirement, Lorraine & George lived in Plymouth and East Bridgewater.

One of these is roots, the other, wings.� (Hodding Carter) And with her strength, humor, intelligence, and love, Lorraine gave her children both roots and wings. In addition to her husband, she leaves four children, Kathleen Landry and her husband Edward of Raynham; Michael Keough and his wife Bonnie of Tarpon Springs FL; Maureen Chapman and her husband Kevin of East Bridgewater; and Patricia Larkin and her husband Timothy of Candia NH; eight grandchildren, Matthew Landry and his wife Christine; Deven and Emily Keough; Danielle and Joshua Chapman; and Jessica, Marissa, and Bridget Larkin.
