Lorraine I. St. Aubin CLAREMONT — Lorraine Irene St. Aubin, age 83, passed away in peace on April 28, 2020, at Sullivan County Health Care in Unity, New Hampshire, after a long battle with dementia. Mom was born in Claremont, New Hampshire, the daughter of Elmer and Irene (St. Martin) LaFlower. She married our Dad, Lawrence Wayne St. Aubin, on June 15, 1954, in Claremont. They enjoyed 62 years together until Dad passed away on June 16, 2016. Together, they raised the “4L’s,” Linda, Larry Lorie and Lisa. Mom was employed as an Avon representative, and at M.H. Fishman Co., A&P Grocery, Paul & Carol’s Market and Hannaford’s. Mom and Dad owned and operated the Plainfield General Store in Plainfield, New Hampshire, for 10 years, where she prepared many delicious meals for the customers. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening, cooking, knitting and camping. She enjoyed traveling with Dad and was proud that they had visited every one of the 50 states. Mom was a kind and gentle person who loved spending time with family and friends. We have many fond memories of her and will miss her in our lives. The world was a better place with her in it. While at the Sullivan County Home, she enjoyed dancing and interacting with all the patients and staff. She really enjoyed her time at the nursing home. We would like to thank the staff on Stearns 3 for taking such loving care of our Mom and making the last part of her life the best that it could be.
