After high school she began working as a bank teller on Long Island. She had a successful career in banking, working her way to commercial loan officer at NatWest Bank in Manhattan.
Her real passion was interior design. She attended Willsey Institute of Art and Interior Design. She was always happy to give her advice on your home interior design improvements.
She moved to South Carolina continuing her career in banking, retiring from Regions Bank. Following her retirement she moved to Hamilton, Georgia to be close to her cousins. Family and friends were always important to her.
She loved to garden, cook and read. Her pets were a constant companion. She was happiest cooking for others, almost always with an Italian theme.
Rest in peace sweet Lorraine.
