Lorraine Pullin Obituary

"Lorraine Chapura Pullin, 91, of Mount Joy, died Saturday, April 22, 2023 at Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Massachusetts, she was raised by her mother in Philadelphia. At the age of 16 she moved to Washington, DC, where she was employed at the Pentagon in the film vault of the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWOP). She retired after 17 years of service in the Department of Defense. Her last position was with the Surgeon General's office of the Army Veterinary Corps. Her greatest pleasure was humane work, and while she loved all animals, her favorite was always the German Shepherd. She was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, Maj. Millard E. "Gene" Pullin, USMC-Retired, in 1999. She is survived by her son, Stephen, RN, also of Mount Joy, and by a daughter, Mary, and a granddaughter, Dawn, both of whom live in Texas. Funeral arrangements are pending, and burial will be at the Quantico (Virginia) National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a memorial contribution in her name to the Pennsylvania SPCA. Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison. "
