Lorraine Marie Bravo was born to her parents Arturo and Emma Bravo on August 31, 1950 at Belvedere Hospital in Los Angeles, California. She spent her formative years growing up in Pico Rivera, calling it home through her graduation from El Rancho High School in 1968. Beyond her education she took the time to raise a family, becoming a mother to three children: Christine, Bernadette and Tony. In addition to being a homemaker and loving mother, she spent over 27 years working at Inline Distribution Company in the accounting department. Faithful to both her family and her vocation, she still took time for herself in the form of hobbies. She loved reading and gardening, along with cheering on her hometown Dodgers and trying her luck at the slot machines in Las Vegas. Lorraine's passing is deeply felt by the many that she knew and loved, especially her family. Her legacy and name are survived through her 3 children, 11 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren. Lorraine will always be remembered for her strength and courage, but even more treasured for her sense of humor, making everyone around her laugh until they cried. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends and all who knew her.
The family will be having a celebration of life next year when the social gathering restrictions are lifted.

"Why would God take an Angel from us in a time like this, why would he dim the world by taking a beautiful shiny smile from us. Lorraine was a beautiful soul and a great friend. She made going to work fun. She was and always be a special person to me and knowing she is no longer here makes me a little lonely inside
Rest In Peace my friend "
