Lorriane C. Buhay

Lorraine C. (Bolick) Buhay, 92 of Largo, Florida, passed away Saturday, August 27, 2022 at her home residence.

Born in Mount Carmel on June 6, 1930, she was the beloved daughter of the late Peter and Kathryn (Tomtishen) Bolick.

On July 1, 1989 in the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church in Centralia, she married Charles Buhay who preceded her in death on June 23, 2018. They moved to Largo, Florida in 1992 and were blessed with a happy, loving marriage for 29 years.

Lorraine spent her childhood in Mount Carmel and resided in Kulpmont later in life. She worked at the former Lady Hope clothing factory in Kulpmont for many years before moving to Florida upon her retirement. She loved when family and friends visited her. She spent her time watching the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team and Jeopardy. She loved and supported her family more than anything.

Lorraine was an active and beloved member in the Largo Paradise Island community where she resided. She was a member of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Clearwater, Florida and enjoyed interacting with members in the community at the clubhouse for dances and holiday parties.
