Lorraine was a member of Bethany Lutheran Church and proclaimed Jesus as her Lord. She enjoyed talking about her faith and ministering to her family.
In her younger years, Lorraine was an employee of the Baldwin Whitehall School District where she worked with disabled children as a school bus matron. For fun, Lorraine was an avid traveler, and she enjoyed shopping, bowling, and playing the organ. The quality most people who knew her in her later years will remember was her ability to tell a story. She had a story for every occasion and was always happy to engage with others.
