Lorraine "Cis" Anna MacKenzie, age 88, passed away on March 26, 2022, after a courageous battle with a long-term illness. She was welcomed into heaven by her husband, Edward Paul "Buster" MacKenzie Jr; her son, Edward Paul "Butch" MacKenzie, Ill; her parents, Lorraine and Charles Buckingham; her brother, Charles "Bill" Buckingham; granddaughter, Charlaine Lambert; and many other family and friends.

Lorraine was born on May 11, 1933, in Newark, DE. She enjoyed sharing memories of her childhood with anyone who would listen. When she and her sister, Janet, were together, they had some really great stories, although some may have been a bit far-fetched. These stories will be etched in our minds and hearts, forever. Lorraine and Paul spent many years as foster parents and welcomed over 13 children into their home through those years. They prided themselves in the fact that these children received the best care possible.

Lorraine leaves behind 4 children, Chuck MacKenzie, Penny Moore (Jeff), Julie MacKenzie and Beth Lambert (Darrell), all of Elkton, MD; her sister, Janet Walls, Middletown, DE; as well as several nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind, her pride and joy, her grandchildren, Christina MacMillan (Brian), Joey Marrero (Jenn), Gabby MacKenzie, Miranda Lambert, Zach MacKenzie, and Kyle Lambert; and her great-grandchildren, Jaden Ohrt, Aiden MacMillan, Peyton Ohrt, Kellan MacMillan, Skylar Marrero, and a new little one due in September.

A special thank you to the staff at Amedisys, both the home health and hospice teams for their compassion and care during Lorraine's illness. As well, a thank you to all our friends and family who have shared their kind words and thoughtful gestures.

Graveside service with interment in Sharps Cemetery will be private.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN  38105, one of Lorraine's favorite charities.
