Lorraine Ann Hinlicky, of Stamford, passed away on February 8, 2026, at age 79. She is now reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband, the late Paul Hinlicky Sr., and survived by her cherished children, Paul Hinlicky Jr. (Suzanne), Mark Hinlicky (Amber) and Lauren Hinlicky. She is also survived by her loving grandchildren, Hugo Jonathan Ramirez, Adam Joseph Hinlicky, Ryan James Hinlicky, and Ethan Paul Hinlicky, and by siblings, Lawrence Chiappetta Jr, Rosemary Chiappetta, and John Chiappetta (Lena).
Lorraine was born in Greenwich on August 15, 1946, to Lawrence Joseph and Rose Marie Chiappetta. She grew up in Chickahominy, graduated from Greenwich High School, and met the love of her life, Paul, while working at the local Chevrolet dealership. They married when she was 21 and started their family a few years later.
Lorraine was a loving wife, and devoted caretaker to her family. While her children were young, she was very involved at the school, whether it be working in the cafeteria or volunteering for the PTA. As her children grew, she found other ways to stay involved with the community by taking roles with the Greenwich BOE, Parks and Recreation, and Tax Assessor’s office.
Lorraine was also very active in helping to raise her grandchildren and took great pride in watching them grow and flourish. She could always be counted on for offering words of encouragement, a silly joke, or a comforting hug, and enjoyed attending the many school and sporting events to cheer the kids on. One of her greatest joys was watching her grandsons play baseball.
To honor Lorraine’s life, family and friends will gather on Thursday 4:00-8:00pm at Coxe & Graziano Funeral Home, 134 Hamilton Ave Greenwich, 203-869-5968. A service will be held on Friday at 10:30am at Coxe & Graziano, with a weblink available on Coxe & Graziano’s website or Lorraine’s obituary page starting at 10:30am for those unable to attend in person. Private interment to follow. Memorial donations can be sent to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
