Lorraine L. (Siudzinski) Vincent

Lifespan: 1923-06-23 — 2014-01-20

Summary

Marie Ellen (Bodoh) Coppersmith’s half-sister — Lorraine and Marie shared the same mother (Mary Young) but different fathers. Mary Young had three children with her first husband John Bodoh (Marie, Leonard, Albinus George) and then remarried John A Siudzinski after Bodoh’s 1915 death; Lorraine was born to that second marriage in 1923, when Marie was already 17.

Married Donald W. Vincent on January 29, 1944. He preceded her in death on March 29, 1997. Lorraine died at age 90 on January 20, 2014 at Angel’s Touch in De Pere. Funeral arrangements by Cotter Funeral Home, Green Bay.

Lorraine’s 2014 obit is the keystone document confirming the half-sibling structure across the Bodoh and Siudzinski lines. She is listed as preceded in death by her three siblings: Luke Siudzinski (full brother), Al Bodoh (half-brother), Marie Coppersmith (half-sister).

Research Notes

• Why included in the tree: Lorraine is the keystone source proving Mary Young’s second marriage produced children. Marie’s record had carried the open question for years; Lorraine’s obit closed it.
• Luke Siudzinski dates unknown — research target if anyone wants to develop the Siudzinski half-line further (out of scope per the genealogy stop-rule, but the source is here if needed).
• Donald W. Vincent — Lorraine’s husband, dates unknown beyond 1997 death. Not in the direct tree.
