Lorraine was born in Holyoke, MA, on September 9th, 1927, before settling in Amherst, MA, on her family farm in 1957. She was married to Jean Paul Brunelle on Thanksgiving Day in 1947, and they shared 57 wonderful years together. She was a devout Catholic who attended Saint Brigid’s church for many years. She was most connected to St. Francis as she always surrounded herself and loved animals, including her cats Tipper and Annie, who stayed by her until the end. She loved trips to Cape Cod to visit family and the ocean. Grandma Nell, or GG as she was affectionately known by her Grandchildren, was always there to slide a $5 bill in your hand and grab an ice cream cone. She was a true matriarch and gave everyone in her family her full attention and support. She is survived by her five children, Paul Brunelle and wife Roxanne, Cynthia Rhodes and Husband Leslie, David Brunelle and Wife Darlene, Kenneth Brunelle and wife Kathleen, and Alan Brunelle and wife Donna, her brother Norman Cote and his wife, Phyllis.
