Lorraine was dearly loved by her 11 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her sister, Virginia Diefendorf and her brother, James Stromquist.
In addition to raising her family she spent 20 years working with Bill at Lake Lawn Swim and Tennis Club every summer where she made many lifelong friends.
