Lorraine Kula

Lorraine L. Kula, nee Hering.  March 14, 2022, age 95.  Beloved wife of 73 years of the late Frank Kula.  Loving mother of Cheryl Van Kempema, Laurane (John) Caracci, Bruce (Cynthia) Kula and the deceased Lance Kula.  Cherished grandmother of Diane (Mark) Matthews, Bryan (Caitlin) Bojanowski, Julie (Gerry Gonzalez) Caracci and Joel Caracci.  Adored great-grandmother of Lauren and Kaylin Matthews, Alexandra and Dylan Bojanowski, Katherine Caracci and Clara Gonzalez.

Lorraine was a gifted artist and her oil paintings grace many of our homes.  She enjoyed contributing to the family music sessions that were among her greatest pleasures.   She was a correspondent so prolific she made you feel always like you owed her a letter, and you probably did.   Her faith was her guide and her strength, and she served many years as a Eucharistic Minister and Minister of Care at St. Gerard Majella.

She treasured family and friends and built a beautiful life around them.   She will forever be in our hearts for her kindness, generosity, and endless love.
