Obituary of Lorraine Erta Millang

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in Aptos for Santa Cruz native Lorraine Millang who passed away at her home with her loving family at her bedside.  She was 93 years old.  Born to Attilio and Amabile Erta in Santa Cruz, she graduated from Santa Cruz High School and shortly after began a career as a teller with County Bank.

Lorraine married Frank Millang and the couple enjoyed 51 years of marriage. Lorraine’s love for gardening and the time she spent in her yard growing beautiful flowers, along with the many trips to Lake Tahoe will be cherished memoires for her family.  She and Frank were active members of the Italian Catholic Federation Branch 227.  After she raised her three children, Lorraine went back to work and had a career that spanned over 20 years with County Bank. 

She was a long time parishioner of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Capitola and served as a member of the Altar Society, and as a Eucharistic Minister. 

She is survived by her son Stephen Millang; her daughter in-law Evelien Millang; her three grandchildren; Erich Millang and his wife Courtney; Lori Millang, and Scott Millang; four great grandchildren, and many loving nieces and nephews.  
Lorraine was preceded in death by her beloved husband Frank Millang Sr. in 2002, her son, Frank Millang Jr. 2017, and her two-year-old daughter Sandra Millang. 

The mass will take place on Wednesday April 3, 2024 at Resurrection Catholic Church (7600 Soquel Drive) in Aptos beginning at 11 a.m. She will be laid to rest following mass, beside her husband Frank Millang Sr. in the Our Lady of Mt Carmel Cemetery on the church grounds. Friends may pay their respects at a visitation on Tuesday April 2 at Benito and Azzaro Pacific Gardens Chapel from 12 noon to 4 p.m.
