Lorraine is survived by her sister, Lucy Chatham; sons, Michael Toerner (wife Nancy Murphy Toerner) and Edward Toerner (wife Marcia Toerner); and grandsons, Cal Toerner (wife Sara Toerner) and Jon Toerner (wife Kassie Toerner). She was preceded in death by her husband, Adolph Charles Toerner; parents, Edward and Hersilie Trepagnier; and sisters, Odile Trepagnier, Mary Rose Trepagnier, and Marie Reynaud.
