Loraine F. Wilson

March 18, 1946 — May 18, 2024

Brocton

Loraine Frances Wilson (Kuschel), 78, died peacefully on Saturday, May 18th, 2024, at Saint Vincent Hospital in Erie, PA. Loraine was born on March 18th, 1946, to Andrew and Frances Kuschel of Dunkirk both of whom preceded her in death. She attended Cardinal Mindszenty High School, Class of 1963. She worked as a secretary to the guidance counselor at Brocton Central School, where she was well-loved by colleagues and students alike. During her time there, she was awarded the C.C.A.E.O.P. Educational Office Professional of the year.

In her spare time, Loraine loved to travel with her husband, bake, read, do puzzles, and spend time talking and laughing with her friends and family. A woman of unwavering faith, she was a long time member of Christ Community Church in Fredonia. Loraine was a four-time cancer survivor, and she credited her faith in God and the love of her husband for seeing her through these trials.

Loraine is survived by her dedicated husband of 58 years, Raymond Wilson; two sons, Jeffrey Wilson (Bernadett) of Waterford, Pennsylvania, and Robert Wilson (Elizabeth), of Dublin, Ireland; 7 granddaughters, Hannah Wilson (Anna), Erin Wilson (Thomas), Rachael Wilson, Robin Wilson (Dmitry), Alexandra Wilson, Kendra Wilson, and Méabh Wilson; and one brother, John Kuschel (Maria) of Dunkirk. 

She was preceded in death by two brothers; James Kuschel of Columbus, Ohio, and William Kuschel of Portland, New York.
