It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Lorraine Ruiz. Lorraine was more than just a wife, mother, sister, and aunt—she was the heart of our family. She was strong, selfless, and always there for anyone who needed her. No matter what she was going through, she never turned anyone away. Her kindness and strength touched so many lives, and her absence has left an emptiness that words cannot describe.

Lorraine leaves behind her devoted husband and her loving children—Monique, Eugene, and Jose—along with a family who cherished her deeply, who are now facing this unimaginable loss. She was his partner, his support, and his everything. In the days since her passing, the reality of life without her has been incredibly difficult.

To help support her husband during this time, Lorraine’s daughter Monique and her husband have made the selfless decision to move back home and provide the 24-hour care he now needs. As a family, we are doing everything we can to hold each other up, just as Lorraine always held all of us together.

We have received so many calls, messages, and prayers from those asking how they can help. It means more than we can express to know how loved Lorraine truly was. In response, we have created this GoFundMe to help with funeral and memorial expenses, and to ease the burden on the family as we navigate this heartbreaking time.

Any support, whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this page, is deeply appreciated. Every act of kindness helps carry us through this.

Lorraine’s love, strength, and generosity will live on in all of us. We will continue to honor her by caring for one another the way she always cared for everyone around her.

Thank you for keeping our family in your hearts and prayers.
