Lorraine had been a member of St. Cecilia Catholic Church in Hubbell where she served on the funeral lunch committee. She also helped with T.C. Daze.
Lorraine had a very kind and loving heart; she always saw the good in everyone. In her younger years, she loved camping, boating, riding the motorcycle with “Dar,” and snowshoeing. Lorraine loved her animals; on any given day you would find her walking her dog with a bag full of treats for all the special dogs in town.
The family wishes to thank the staff of Portage Point for making mother’s last years the best that they could be.
