Lorraine Theresa (nee, Smith) Walser, 71 of Cherry Hill, NJ was welcomed home by our Lord, on Wednesday April 15, 2020, after a long illness.
Lorraine was born September 14, 1948 in Camden, NJ to Robert and Kathryn (McHugh) Smith. She was a 1966 graduate of Camden Catholic High School and later earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Marketing from Rowan University in 1995. Lorraine was a Real Estate Agent at Brick Realtors then Weichert Realtors in Medford, NJ.
Lorraine lived in Medford, NJ while she raised her three daughters. She moved to Berlin, NJ in 2001 to be close to her sister Eileen, before moving to Cherry Hill about ten years ago. She was a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel RC Church in Berlin.
Lorraine truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, and her three daughters were the highlight of her life. Her interests included spending time with her family, playing racketball with her dear friend Elsie, tending to her flower and vegetable gardens, going to movies, sewing, crocheting, needlepoint, and enjoying the outdoors by going on daily walks and gently rocking on her glider, on the porch, reading a book. Lorraine had a wonderful smile that could light up a room and she was known for her kind and compassionate spirit.
Lorraine is survived by her three daughters; Lisa Makropoulos (George), Megan Walser, and Colleen Walser; two sisters, Eileen Travis and Diane Smith; brother, Robert Smith, Jr., as well as two half siblings, Paul Smith and Tania Kahmer. She is also survived by her two grandchildren, Christian and Julian.
There will be a private visitation and service on Tuesday April 21st at the Mount Laurel Home for Funerals, followed by burial at New St. Mary’s Cemetery, Bellmawr, NJ. A memorial service mass will be celebrated in the future at St. John Neumann RC Church in Mount Laurel, NJ.
