NIAGARA FALLS — Lorraine M. (Wendt) Witkop, age 80, was called to her heavenly home on March 10, 2011 at the Hurlbut Nursing Home, Henrietta, NY, after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. She was formerly of Lockport Road in Sanborn.

Despite the loss of her husband, Kenneth Witkop in 1974 at an early age, and her numerous hardships and health problems, it is difficult to think of a time in which she complained and how three of these remained: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love- 1 Corinthians 13:13.

If a life is to be measured by personal possessions, her life missed the mark. But if life is to be measured by Faith in a risen Savior, Hope in eternal life and Love to all, then her life was rich indeed, and we are richer for having known her. Lorraine was a long time member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in North Tonawanda, where she was active with the Ladies Aid. She also enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening and loved children.

Survivors include her son, Jeffrey (Dawn) Witkop of Rochester; two grandchildren, Adam Kenneth Witkop and Kristen Marie Witkop; two brothers, Ronald and Joel Wendt; two sisters, Jane Kroening and Marlyn Gross; and many nieces and nephews.

Friends may call at the DUBOIS FUNERAL HOME, 2436 Niagara Road, (Bergholz) in Wheatfield on Saturday from 6-8 PM and Sunday 1-3 and 5-7 PM. Services will be conducted in St. Paul Lutheran Church, 453 Old Falls Blvd., North Tonawanda on Monday, March 14th at 11:00 AM. Interment in the Wheatfield Cemetery.
