Lorraine Vegas Romero, Thornton, CO—Lorraine Vegas Romero sadly passed away on August 20th, 2024, after battling complications from heart disease, pneumonia, kidney infection, and liver disease. Lorraine’s passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of her family and the many lives she touched throughout her 34 years of dedicated service at North Suburban Medical Center in Thornton, Colorado.
Lorraine was born in 1949 in San Mateo, California, and later moved to Colorado, where she spent her life. She married in 1969 and raised two children, Gus and Leslie Ann. After her divorce in 1982, Lorraine devoted her life to her children, her career, and the many people she helped during her decades-long work at the medical center. Her kindness and generosity left a lasting impact, with many patients bringing her gifts as tokens of gratitude for the compassion she showed them.
In honor of her legacy, her children are working to give her a traditional funeral and burial alongside her family in the same garden as her brothers and her mother. A fundraiser, organized by her son Gus Romero, aims to raise $25,000 to cover the funeral expenses, as they have faced unexpected financial challenges following her passing. Lorraine’s life insurance and 401K were terminated when she was on disability, and her children also lost their transportation and housing in the weeks following her death.
The community is encouraged to support the family during this challenging time as they prepare for Lorraine’s funeral on September 20th at Olinger’s Highland Mortuary in Thornton, Colorado. Lorraine’s memory will forever be cherished by those who knew her, and her kindness will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Romero family. May Lorraine rest in peace, and may her family find comfort and strength during this difficult time.
