Lorraine, an avid reader, dedicated her life to creating a warm and nurturing home for her husband and three children. She found joy in watching her children thrive, grow and become independent adults. She was the heart and soul of the home, especially when she was playing hymns on her organ loud enough so the neighbors could hear!

She also found delight in lunching with her best friends Bo and Bobbye, going to a Walmart grand openings, Black Friday sales and Saturday morning craft shows.
