Last Updated on August 2, 2021

We have some sad news to pass along today as it looks like THE CONJURING and THE CONJURING 2 real-life basis Lorraine Warren has passed away Thursday night at the age of 92. Warren and her husband Ed were renowned for their work in paranormal investigation and demonology. Warren’s death was announced by her grandson Chris McKinnon on Facebook:

Last night my grandmother, Lorraine Warren, quietly and peacefully left us to join her beloved Ed. She was happy and laughing until the very end. She was my angel and my hero, and she will be deeply missed. Please join us in celebrating her life and honoring her beautiful soul. Remember to treasure those you love while you can. Thank you and God bless you all.

Vera Farmiga took to Twitter today to voice her feelings on Lorraine's passing, writing:

My dear friend Lorraine Warren has passed. From a deep feeling of sorrow, a deep feeling of gratitude emerges. I was so blessed to have known her and am honored to portray her. She lived her life in grace and cheerfulness. She wore a helmet of salvation, she dawned her sword… compassion and took a shield of faith. Righteousness was her breastplate, and she has touched my life so. Love you, Lorraine. You're waltzing with Ed now.

Farmiga, of course, played Lorraine Warren in not only James Wan's original THE CONJURING movie, but also its sequel THE CONJURING 2, and writer-director Gary Dauberman's upcoming third ANNABELLE flick, ANNABELLE COMES HOME. She starred opposite Patrick Wilson as Lorraine's husband Ed Warren. How upset are YOU by Warren's passing? Let us know below.
