Lorraine Kilvington (South Australia) Lorraine commenced her journey alongside her husband Rod in the early 1970’s and held the honour of being hailed the mother of Mustangs in SA and Australia. Lorraine’s energy and devotion to the Club, the contribution she made in shaping the Mustang movement across Australia over the past 30 years in SA and Australia can be measured by the As one of the founding members of the National Concours format, Lorraine took a keen interest in the guidelines and scoring process – an area that is generally dominated by males – and always loved to bring a female perspective to the discussions. |
Lorraine’s goodness was unbridled, could adapt to any situation and had a memory to match. Of the many Club celebrations she was involved in, the one event that Lorraine had fond memories of was the 30th Anniversary celebrations of MOCSA in 2006 at the Festival Centre Banquet Room in Adelaide. Sharing those wonderful moments through a slide-show presentation with family and friends, renewing old acquaintances, laughing at the odd yarn or two and dancing the night away meant a great deal to Lorraine.
It’s impossible to put into words what Lorraine has meant to the Mustang movement across Australia. The way she welcomed Mustanger’s into the Club like they were family, the fun she instilled into Club runs, her laughter, the passion and commitment she put into the Club will be her lasting legacy.
Lorraine passed away on Wednesday 14 November 2007, aged 73 years and is survived by her children Tony, Nick and Joanne.
