Lorraine was born on May 14, 1943 in Glens Falls, NY, a daughter of the late John & Grace (Coon) Solloscy. She graduated from Argyle High School and continued her education at Houghton College (’65) where she earned a Bachelor of Science Degree. She later married Tom Getman on July 28, 1967.

During her career she taught junior high science in Michigan and Ohio; and elementary grades in Jackson, Mississippi prior to relocating back to the North Country. She then cared for her mother in her home. Lorraine was a member of the Lisbon Wesleyan Church where she lead a women’s Bible Study for many years. She enjoyed watching specimens under a microscope, bird watching, teaching her students, attending West Chazy Holiness Camp Meeting, and spending time with her family and friends. Lorraine will be remembered as a Bible teacher, for her contagious smile and kindness, and her giving spirit. Most of all, she will be remembered for the demonstration of her faith and her love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
