Lorraine E. Calvetti, 91, resident of Milford, NH, died on June 4, 2026, at The Elm Center, Milford, after a period of declining health.

She was born on September 25, 1934, in Spencer, MA, where she lived with her parents Leo and Evelyn (Thibideau) Cloutier and her brothers Leo and Richard. She graduated from high school and hair design school in Spencer. It was at this time her brother Richard (Dick) came home from the service and brought a friend with him. Lorraine was introduced to this friend (Richard Calvetti) and it was love at first sight.

They married in May of 1957 and raised their family in Amherst, NH. Lorraine was a full-time mom and incredible homemaker, but she also had many jobs over the years. Her favorite was working as a cashier for Violette’s IGA in Milford. She enjoyed interacting with her fellow employees and customers.

Lorraine had many other interests. She enjoyed playing the piano for the family and as part of the musical group “The Calvetti’s” which played in the many of the Sprague Electric variety shows. She also enjoyed playing tennis, bowling and creating her own Christmas decorations. She hosted many dinner parties with family and friends and enjoyed playing cards and cooking amazing Italian dinners.

But her main interest was always her family. She raised two boys and spent hundreds of hours over the years driving them to games and practices.

She developed a passion for watching her kids play sports. She was able to continue this passion with her grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, Lorraine was predeceased by her husband, Richard Calvetti in 2021, son Mark Calvetti in 2022 and her granddaughter, Bethany Calvetti in 2022.
