Lorraine Marie Hahn

April 20, 1928 – December 15, 2023 Lorraine Marie Hahn passed away on Friday, December 15th at the age of 95. She was born in Detroit on April 20, 1928, to Leo Carney and Stella (Kozierowski) Carney (nee Czajkowski). Leo and Stella had three children; Lorraine was the youngest. Her older sister Irene died of a childhood disease at 2 years old, so she and her only remaining sibling older brother Bill grew up together on the east side of Detroit. Lorraine graduated from Eastern High School and took a job at the Federal Shoe Store in downtown Detroit, commuting daily by streetcar. Lorraine met Edwin “Ed” Hahn in 1946. Ed had been out-of-state training as a navigator with the Army Air Corps. When the war ended and he returned home, he noticed a beautiful young woman directly across the street and asked his parents who she was. Ed and Lorraine were married in July 1949 at Saints Peter & Paul Church in Detroit and crossed the country by car to Los Angeles for their honeymoon. Lorraine and Ed had five children, and while Ed was off at work, Lorraine worked tirelessly to raise her family. She became an excellent cook and baker. It was difficult to keep her special holiday cookies-Lemon Crisps, hidden and untouched before Christmas! Her apple pie was another family favorite. After the kids were grown, Lorraine developed an interest in golf and played on several leagues and occasionally with her husband. She and Ed also took up square dancing with friends, complete with complementary outfits. Playing card games was another love of hers, particularly Pinochle. Her competitive nature was on obvious display, and she loved to win! Lorraine is survived by her four children Kenneth (Kathleen Missig) Hahn, Eileen (Robert) Rees, Raymond (William Long, Jr.) Hahn, and Barbara Hahn Adams, three grandchildren Bradley (Jessica), Megan and Eric (Sydney) Adams, and eight nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Ed, her son James Hahn, her grandson David Hahn, and her brother William Carney. Visitation is scheduled on Tuesday, December 19th from 11am-noon immediately followed by a funeral service at the Wasik Funeral Home, 49150 Schoenherr Rd. (N. of 22 Mile Rd.), Shelby Township. Interment will take place at 11 AM on Wednesday, December 20th at the Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly.
