Jeannine Loranger, 92, of Warren, PA. died peacefully Sunday morning, April 7, 2013 at her residence surrounded by her family. She was born September 4, 1920 in- Salem, MA. to the late Alexander and Arthemise Roi Dion. She was a Warren area resident since 1946, moving from, Salem, Mass. Jeannine was a devout Catholic and a member of St. Joseph R.C. Church where she was a member of the church Altar Rosary Society and the former Catholic Daughters of America. She was a member of the Warren Women’s Club, Warren Garden Club, The Philomel Club, and the Conewango Valley Country Club. She is fondly remembered as a tremendous cook and the family has compiled a family cookbook with her recipes.

Dear Friends
Please accept our sincerest sympathy. We know that all the wonderful memories of Mrs. Loranger will somehow keep a smile in your hearts.
We will always remember your Mom/grandmother as such a lady. We always felt like family in her presence and always will remember her smile at all those special Loranger occasions.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love,
Barb & Barry
My parent s were friends with your parents from the time they met at St. Joe’s, when we were in school together then. It was a friendship they valued. It’s hard to believe that we have come to a time in our lives that they are no longer with us. They live on in our memories. I still wear my bracelet, that Jeannine gave me for graduation from high school.
My prayers and thoughts are with all the family.
We are thinking of you and offer our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother and grandmother. May you find comfort in your memories of her life. RIP

I enjoyed growing up with the Loranger family and have special memories of Mrs. Loranger and my times with Rob and John though sports, the country club, etc. I remember your mom well and she was a wonderful woman and always a lady. I know my mom was especially fond of her. Our family’s thoughts and prayers are with you all.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Loranger family at this time of sorrow for the for the loss of your beloved Mother. Mrs. Loranger was a wonderful matriarch and she will live in your hearts forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Albert, George, Rob & John:
My deepest sympathies to you sons on the passing of a true lady who I always looked up to and someone who treated me as part of the Loranger manufacturing family. I know she was an inspiration to you guys and did her best to keep you all in line. She is now in a better place and I will bet your father said to her when she arrived in heaven, “jeannine, where in the dickens have you been. You made me wait along time”. She will rest in peace in the arms of Jesus.
So sorry to hear of your loss. When I think of your Mother I remember a very kind and gracious lady. When ever I saw her she always would stop and talk with me. I especially remember when Rob and Lee got lost in the woods when they were in 5th grade. After they were found she graciously accepted extra people into her home after a very trying day. Bless you and always hold your memories of her close.
John, Rob, Al, George & families:
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was such a lovely and sweet lady. She always made me smile. Bless you all,
Liz Davis

Sorry to hear about your mom’s passing away. I don’t get the paper anymore and I just found this out. I am sorry that I was not at the viewing to express my sympathies to you and your families. I’m sure you all have good memories of her that will stay with you forever. She is at peace now.
Again, my condolences to all of you.
