Loraine was the Matriarch of the family and garnered respect from all. To know her was to love her! She was extremely big on family and would not allow them to suffer, if they needed something she was always there, whether it was a place to stay, a hot meal, money, or a counseling session. Loraine took care of many generations. She truly loved her Husband and Children. Also, she loved singing in the Church Choir. When she was no longer able to sing, you could still hear her singing from the audience, which always brought smiles and joy to others. She loved spending time with family, cooking, playing word games, puzzles, and scrabble, which was her favorite game. Also, she was a diehard Royals fan!
