Lorraine Price Kahan passed away peacefully on Friday July 26, 2019, in Antioch, California, after a series of strokes. She was born July 30, 1935, in Deltaville, Virginia, daughter of deceased Lionel Price and Agnes White Price. She graduated from Middlesex High School in 1953 and went to work for the West Point Paper Mill. She met her first husband, Jack Andresen, when he was stationed in Deltaville during the Korean War, and they were married at Clarksbury Church in 1955.
After moving to California they had two children, which survive her, Mark Andreasen, and Victoria Andresen Grey. The family moved to Connecticut in 1967, where Lorraine became employed as a secretary and office manager at Kahan, Steiger, and Associates, a CPA firm.
Lorraine and Robert Kahan, now deceased, were married in 1981 and resided happily in Stamford, Connecticut for many years. After retirement they moved to Lancaster, Virginia where they enjoyed gardening, boating on the rivers around the Chesapeake, and traveling the world. She moved back to California in 2013, where she enjoyed socializing and cultural outings with old and new friends in Brentwood, as well as nearby family.
