Bennington
Lorraine Butcher, 96, of Bennington VT and Pittsfield, MA, passed away on May 28, 2025 surrounded by family. Lorraine was born in Troy, New York to Frank and Nellie (Carver) Waller on
November 7, 1928. She grew up and attended schools in Troy and worked for many years at the Freihofer bakery there before marrying Robert Kenneth Butcher and settling in Pittsfield,
Massachusetts. Lorraine completed coursework and training for cake decorating and was last employed at Morningside Bakery as a cake decorator, where she crafted many wedding cakes,
including those for both of her children.
Lorraine enjoyed outdoor activities and many camping trips shared with Bob and their children as they grew up and, above all, spending time with her family. She was a talented craft artist, enjoying making and selling crafts in the holiday fairs for many years in her retirement. She loved spending time with her granddaughters, playing with them and taking them on many outings.
Since 2019, Lorraine lived at Brookdale Fillmore Pond in Bennington, VT, where she enjoyed walks on the beautiful grounds, lively conversations and smiles over meals in the dining room,
and Bingo whenever it was offered. The family appreciates the wonderful care and support she received during her years at Brookdale.
Lorraine was predeceased by her husband, Robert Kenneth Butcher of Pittsfield, MA, in 1993, her daughter, Lorrie Anne Bissaillon of Pittsfield, in 2023, her sister, Marion Schultz, and her brothers, William Waller, Charles Waller and Robert Waller. She is survived by her son, Kenneth Butcher (Heidi Peterson) of Stamford VT, her son-in-law, Jeff Bissaillon of Pittsfield, her granddaughters, Christina Butcher (Oubaida Albakour) of The Woodlands, TX, Anna Butcher of Edwards, CO, Ashley Bissaillon and Brittney Bissaillon of Pittsfield, and her sister, Beatrice McCarthy of Palmyra, Virginia, as well as seven nieces and nephews.
A private family service will be held in early June. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimers Association would be greatly appreciated.
