Lorraine Koslowski

July 30, 1924 — October 27, 2016

Lorraine “Leapy” Koslowski, age 92, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at St. Elizabeth Hospital with her family by her side. Lorraine was born on July 30, 1924 to the late Joseph and Martha (Sokolowski) Liebhauser. She graduated from St. Mary's High School and has spent the majority of her career as a mother caring for her family. In 1948 Lorraine married Eugene “Sweetka” Koslowski and together they had four children. Lorraine and Eugene spent their time together with their families and bowling in couples leagues. Lorraine was an avid bowler through the 70s. She also enjoyed baking, especially breads and cookies. The family cherishes their memories of cookouts and fish fries with relatives. After Eugene's passing in 1982, Lorraine took a job working at Wanserskis for 18 years, making their famous potato salad.

She is further survived by a sister Margaret Woulf and many other nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Eugene “Sweetka”; sister Louise (John) Dombeck, brother George (Mabel) Liebhauser; brothers-in-law: Carl (Dorothy) Akstulewicz, Paul (Grace) Koslowski, and Chester (Mabel) Koslowski; and sisters-in-law: Leonne (Terry) Terrell and Delores Skrypczak.
