Lorraine C. Woznick, age 94 of Manitowoc, was called home to God on Friday, April 5, 2024, at Sylvan Crossings Assisted Living. Lorraine passed away, peacefully, of natural causes.
Lorraine was born on October 30, 1929 in Manitowoc, daughter of the late Leo and Anna (Beranek) Sydow. She was a 1948 graduate of Manitowoc Lincoln High School. On June 10, 1950 Lorraine was married to John “Jack” Woznick at St. Paul Catholic Church in Manitowoc. He preceded her in death on June 4, 2001. Lorraine was, in her own words, “a professional homemaker.” Without a doubt, Lorraine’s legacy is her family, shown by the deep devotion to her husband, children and grandchildren. She loved each and everyone one of them so very dearly. Among her many skills, she was an extraordinary seamstress, having made many outfits for her children and costumes for her grandchildren. She also had an amazing “green thumb” and enjoyed crafts, including ceramics, throughout the years. She was a longtime member of St. Francis of Assisi Parish and the St. Clare Society. Lorraine lived at Sylvan Crossings, Manitowoc, for the past 10 years.
