Lorraine J. (Galida) Koschock, 72 of Gibbon Glade, formerly of Dunbar, Pa. died on Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at Montifiore Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pa. She was born on June 9, 1948 in Uniontown, daughter of the late Michael and Helen (Kobzowicz) Galida. She was also preceded in death by several uncles and aunts.

Surviving is her loving daughter, Melissa R. Minko and her husband Michael J. with whom she made her home; brothers, Gary and Michael Galida and their families.

Lorraine attended Mt. Macrina Academy, and cherished her memories of her time spent there and the friendships she made for all of her life. She then furthered her education at Duff's Business Institute, where she earned an Associate's Degree in Accounting. Later, she also obtained a degree in Theology.  She worked in accounting for several local companies before starting her own business, Lorraine's Business Services, in 1981. In business for 38 years, she offered Tax Preparation, Bookkeeping Services, and Payroll, and specialized in helping others start their own businesses. Her work was truly one of her greatest joys, and she took pride in personalized service and careful attention to the smallest of details. Her clients often became friends, and many looked forward to bringing in their tax information each year. It was common for her to spend hours with each client, and she advised many concerning financial management and debt elimination. She was especially happy that her business had the distinction of having served families for generations.

She will be remembered by those who knew and loved her best for her wonderful sense of humor and her outspoken and opinionated nature. As the recipient of a liver transplant, she encouraged others to become organ donors. A member of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Uniontown, she loved to tell others about the goodness of the Lord, wherever she went.

Friends will be received at the Stephen R. Haky Funeral Home, Inc., 603 N. Gallatin Avenue Ext., Uniontown, Pa. on Sunday, October 18, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., and on Monday, October 19, from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m.
