Lorraine Harriet Cheney Aaberg Born November 7, 1926 Died June 3, 2024 Parents, Clifford Sidney Cheney, Josephine Angeline French Cheney Born on the Yakama Indian Reservation Near Toppenish Washington Lorraine attended McKinley Elementary and graduated from Toppenish High School in 1944. She kept in close contact with her fellow graduates and took great joy in helping to organize many class reunions over the years. During WWII many of the adult women in the area chose to move to Seattle to work in the shipyards and factories, leaving opportunities for employment in the Valley. Lorraine was a senior in highschool, and this gave her the opportunity to take her first job with First National Bank in Toppenish. She took a lot of pride in this position and was able to showcase her skills and strong work ethic. Lorraine was able to use the skills she learned with First National Bank and started working with Delmonte as an accounts payable representative. When Lorraine took a new opportunity with Pacific Power she found her niche. She spent 18 years being fondly referred to as Lorraine at the Power Company. She was a valuable member of the staff and kept the place running smoothly. She was counted on to take care of everyone in the office. During one extremely bad snow storm Lorraine was snowed into her home, and could not make it into work. Her fellow employees quickly devised a plan to drive to her home and pick her up. They knew that they could not get through a day without her. Lorraine Married Harold W. Davison after he returned from WWII in 1946, and together they had three children, Robert Wesley Davison, Luetta Davison Lanksbury, Laurie JoAnn Davison Dwyer. Children: Robert Wesley Davison (Jean Ann) Grandchildren John Clifford Davison 1970-1989 Kerri Joann Davison Rodriquez (Samuel) Matthew Robert Davison (Denine) John William Davison Linda Luetta Davison Lanksbury Grandchildren Daniel James Suckow - Deceased Deanna Suckow Gregory Will Gregory Vivienne Gregory Laurie JoAnn Davison Dwyer (Tom) Grandchildren Bradley Thomas Dwyer Shelby Dwyer. Michael Dwyer (La’Rissa) Madison Crawford Kasen-Lee Clark Edison Dwyer Clark Dwyer Later Lorraine married Ken Hall Fraser, and they added two sons Kelvin Hall Fraiser and Kraig Allen Fraser to the family. Children: Kelvin Hall Fraser (Terill) Grandchildren: Desirae Fraser Heeney (Jessee) Ryder Boots Jonathan Burrell (Ashley) Bella Burrell Lauren Whithead Janine Romanosky (Joseph) Josua Reed Michelle Fraser (Thane) Ryan Reese Amanda Fraser (Chris) Kraig Allen Fraser (Jeri Lynn) Grandchildren Nathan Anderson (Nichole) Jaden Anderson Melissa Fraser Ally Fraser-Robinson Joseph Fraser (Falaun) Joseph Eugene Fraser jr. Ella Mai Anderson Ava Marie Anderson Eli Eugene Fraser Kimberly Jade Fraser Crystal Fraser Ehniger (Jeff) Olivia Ehniger TeriLynn Cooper (Dan) Evelynn Cooper In 1966 Lorraine married Sander Paul Aaberg who she had met while working at Pacific Power. Sandy was a brave man marrying a woman with five children aged from nine to nineteen at the time. He rose to the challenge and became a positive influence in the family's life before his passing in 1977. Lorraine took great pride in being an enrolled member of the Yakama Nation and often related stories of her Native heritage. Her family tree on her Mother Josephine French Cheney’s side goes back to Chief Owhi. The other branch of her Mother’s side leads to John Edgar who was a scout for the Army in the 1800’s and led soldiers and the first Wagon train over what is now Chinook pass and has Edgar Rock on Chinook pass named for him. Lorraine would often entertain her grandchildren with the stories of her family history. After she retired her garden was her pride, especially her beautiful peonies. She sold flowers to many regular customers each Memorial day. Her home place on US 97 South of Toppenish was referred to as “the park by the golf course” in the 1980’s by many. In that time a young couple who rented Lorraine’s parents' old house took her father’s old gas barrel and painted it bright yellow with a Happy face on each end and placed it in her front yard. That barrel became a landmark that is still known by thousands of people driving US 97. After she retired from Pacific Power and Light one of her favorite things was loading a couple of grandchildren in her pickup that she had hooked to her fifth wheel trailer and heading out to a campground in the Pacific Northwest for family adventures. These are some of her grandchildrens fondest memories and they recount them any chance they get. She was preceded in death by her husband Sandy Aaberg, parents Josephine Cheney and Clifford S Cheney Sr, Brother Clifford S Cheney Jr. Grand Sons John Clifford Davison and Dan Suckow. Her nephew Clifford S. Cheney III and her longtime companion Howard Stephens plus her grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Burial is June 13, 2024 at the Zillah Wa cemetery.
