Battleboro – Lorraine Omdahl Marriott, age 90, passed away on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.  Born in Becker County, MN, on November 27, 1934, she was the daughter of the late Myles Omdahl and Ella Henriette Aamodt Omdahl.  She was also preceded in death by her sister, Beverly Fern Omdahl Nelson.

A woman of deep faith, Lorraine was a longtime active member of St. John’s Episcopal Church and cherished her church family.  In addition to working as a bookkeeper alongside her husband at Battleboro Hardware, she retired from E-B Grain Company in Battleboro after 30 years.  Lorraine enjoyed working in her yard, creating special memories with her family and friends at Lake Gaston, and spending time with her golden retrievers.  A loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and dear friend to many, Lorraine will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Lorraine is survived by her husband of 67 years, Robert Henry Marriott; her daughters, Pamela Marriott Mingloski (Keith) and Robin Marriott Horne (Chuck); her granddaughters, Sarah Wilkerson (Jordan) and Melissa Mingloski (Tim); her great grandchildren, Beckham Wilkerson and Braelyn Wilkerson; and many nephews, nieces, extended family members, and dearest friends.

A Graveside Service to celebrate Lorraine’s life will be held on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Battleboro Cemetery, Cemetery Drive, Battleboro, NC 27809, with Parker Phillips officiating.  Visitation with the family will be following the service at Battleboro United Methodist Church Educational Building.

The family would like to especially thank the staff at UNC Nash Hospice and Palliative Care, Amada Senior Care, JoAnn’s Helping Hands, and all of her caretakers for their love, support and kindness throughout these difficult times.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Lorraine’s name to St. John’s Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 577, Battleboro, NC 27809 or to a charity of your choice.
