Lorraine Haughian, age 76, passed away on Sunday, May 2, 2004 from heart complications at St. Vincent Hospital in Billings.
Lorraine means "famous in battle", and she had quite a battle last week. She was surrounded by her children and grandchildren as she went to "rest high on that mountain as her work on earth is done."Lorraine was born on February 17, 1928, in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of Theodore Friller and Edna Anna Marie (Amundson) Wood. She attended schools in Brusett and Miles City where she graduated from Custer County District High School. She married John "Henry" Haughian on August 22, 1946. They lived at Little Sheep Mountain where they ranched until moving to Park City for their last years of life. In town, Lorraine was thrilled to have all the water she needed for her flowers. She has many special friends there also. Family, friends, and even strangers were always welcome in her home; the coffee pot was always on. She always tried to find the good in everyone.
Lorraine is survived by her four children: Lauralea Caufield of Park City, MT; Gary Haughian and his wife Charlotte of Cody, WY; Elaine Evertz and her husband Gary of Joliet, MT; and Dale Haughian of Shelton, WA; ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren; three great sisters-in-law; and many nieces and nephews who have proven their love for her this past week.
She is preceded in death by her husband; a sister, Katie Bunch; a son-in-law, Gee Caufield; and a daughter-in-law, Shelly Haughian.
