Lorraine Horn Spinney

October 09, 1939 ~ January 01, 2023

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

Lorraine Horn Spinney, age 83, of Micco, Florida formerly of Reading, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 1, 2023. Lorraine was born on October 9, 1939, in Winchester, Massachusetts, to the late Ralph T. Horn and Jennette (Woods). She married William Spinney, Jr., on December 11, 1957 and they spent 65 years together.

Family was a priority for Lorraine and her masonic life was a centerpiece of her life (Reading Assembly #29 International Order of the Rainbow for Girls and Priscilla Chapter #52 Order of the Eastern Star). She was a proud 1957 graduate of Reading Memorial High School and served as an office manager at Addison-Wesley Publishers School Division and TASC. Lorraine loved her retirement in Florida where she enjoyed entertaining family and friends, serving her community, and found a passion for quilting.

She is survived by her loving husband, Bill; children, Debbie of Greenwood, Indiana, Scott of Reading, Massachusetts; grandson Ryan of Reading, Massachusetts; brother Larry (Karen), sister Ellen, brother in-law Peter (Sally), several nieces and nephews, and other family and friends. Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents.

She will be laid to rest at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Reading, Massachusetts at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Health First Foundation at https://hf.org/healthcare-home/health-first-foundation/make-donation – directing support to William Childs Hospice House in memory of Lorraine Spinney.

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

So sorry to hear of Lorraine’s recent death. I always loved the closeness you sisters shared. Even when we were in high school, and she was a young mother, your devotion to each other was inspiring! Know that you and Larry are in my thoughts and prayers. Cherish the memories. Dotty

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
