LORRAINE STANLEY BERLIN (Age 95)
DAR, a remarkable woman, slipped peacefully into eternity on Sunday, March 15, 2015. Predeceased by her husband of over four decades, William A. Berlin. Her life spoke her Wellesley College alma mater's motto: "Not to be served, but to serve". During WW2, she left Lockheed Aircraft to join the Red Cross and deployed to NE India with the US Army Air Corps' famed 444th and 20th Bomb Groups. In 1946, she again deployed to Europe to serve in Germany and Austria with the US occupation forces. Married in 1947, she and her husband returned to the US where they began a remarkable 42-year journey (21 overseas) together in politics, business, Air Force counterintelligence, education, counseling and raising their four surviving children: Bill, Brett, Trevi and Trudi. Following the loss of her husband, she continued actively including Tokyo-Washington Women, Sewell-Belmont House, White House, Smithsonian, and 23 years at the Kennedy Center. She left a mark on every life she touched. Memorial Services on Sunday, March 29, 4 p.m. Fort Myer Memorial Chapel. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Georgetown Visitation Monastery.
