Lorraine Meys

Lorraine M. Meys, 51, of Huguenot, a school aide and a loving wife and mother, died Tuesday in New York Presbyterian Hospital, Manhattan, after a brief illness.

Born and raised Lorraine M. Lozito in Brooklyn, she graduated from Fontbonne Hall Academy in her native borough.

Mrs. Meys earned a bachelor's degree in marketing at Pace University, Manhattan.

She worked for nine years as a school aide at PS 58 in New Springville.

In her leisure, she enjoyed shopping for clothes, shoes and purses.

Mrs. Meys was a parishioner of Our Lady Star of the Sea R.C. Church, Huguenot.
