Lorraine Mast Hodecker, 97

February 19, 2025

On February 19, 2025, Lorraine (Rainy) Mast Hodecker, 97, of Lititz, PA, victoriously went home to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Having been born in Lancaster, PA, she was the daughter of Ernest and Sarah (Winey) Mast.

Lorraine was a graduate of East Hempfield Township High School. She worked in production planning, purchasing and administration at Travis Mills (formerly of Lititz), RCA (formerly of Lancaster) and at other firms. She was highly creative, excelling in her spare time at watercolor painting, story and poetry writing and music composing. She was a person of great faith, often having been referred to as a “prayer warrior”. Throughout her lifetime she provided spiritual support and comfort to many people. Lorraine was a strong and determined woman who never complained, even up to and through her final days. She put everything into God’s hands, as she knew she would someday exist in his loving embrace.

Surviving are two children; Debra S Kingree (Patrick) and Curt L Oberholtzer (April), four grandchildren; Patrick Kingree Jr (Trisha), Guy Vernon Kingree III (Jackie), Aaron Oberholtzer (Brittany), and Brittany Leeds (Charles); six great-grandchildren; Crew Kingree, Colette Kingree, Elliana Oberholtzer, Drew Oberholtzer, Caden Oberholtzer, and Jack Leeds. She is also survived by her brother Wayne Mast (Mary), sister-in-law Pauline Mast and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her first husband, Harry S Oberholtzer, her second husband, Jay D Hodecker, and her brother Vernon E Mast.
Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, please consider memorial contributions, in Lorraine’s name, to the charitable organization Jews for Jesus, jewsforjesus.org
