Lorraine Violet Harrington Mastrude Call

Lorraine Call was born June 11, 1930 to Arthur Clayton Harrington and Grace Inez Foster Harrington in Bothell, Washington (suburb of Seattle). She accepted Christ at 10 years of age at a Daily Vacation Bible school in Pueblo, CO. Back in Bothell at age 15 she received a vision of Jesus and was filled with the Holy Spirit and in her words “began to blossom as a Christian.”

In the summer of 1946, when she was 16, she married Jack Raymond Mastrude. In 1954 they, along with their 5 year old daughter, Susan Lee, came over the Alaska-Canadian Highway to Palmer, Alaska. They lived there for the next 24 years and were members of the Palmer Highway Church of God and then the Wasilla Assembly of God. Following a divorce in 1970, Lorraine worked at the Pioneer Home until 1978, when she married Clarence (Whitey) Call on Valentines Day. They moved out to Oklahoma for three years and then moved to Sequim, Washington.

All of her life, Lorraine enjoyed using her talents to sing, both for the Lord and for the enjoyment of those around her. She grew up singing at any church she attended and at her different places of work. Not a holiday would go by that she wouldn’t bring her “Gypsy Rose” and entertain employees and residents of the Pioneer Home and Dominion Terrace. She loved nothing more than singing in praise to God at every service she attended and did until the end.

In 2014 Lorraine returned to Alaska to be close to her daughter and was promoted to Glory on Dec. 26, 2017.

She was preceded in death by her husbands: Jack Raymond Mastrude and Clarence C. (Whitey) Call; her four infants: Laurel Marie, Steven Jack, Mark Raymond, and Timothy Mark, her nephew David Harrington, and great-nephew Jeremy Ewing.

She is survived by her daughter Susan and son-in-law Bill Conaway.; her grandchildren: Franklin (wife Kaci), David (wife Christy), and Rapture (husband Bracy Hill); her great-grandchildren: Joshua, Caleb, Elijah, Daniel, Jason, and Angel. She is also survived by her nephew Rick Harrington: his wife Kathy and their kids Ryan Harrington and Deanna (husband Joshua Collins), daughters Brealyn and Alayna; and niece Alice Harrington Ewing Kruse and her sons: John, Kris, Jason, and Tyler Kruse.

The memorial service will be held at Family Christian Center Palmer, Alaska on Saturday, Dec. 30, 2017 at 3 p.m.
