Family and compassion for those less fortunate were the foundation of Lorraine’s life. She enjoyed crocheting infant and chemo caps in her later years of which she donated over 800 to various hospitals and medical centers filling her heart with immeasurable joy. Lorraine was known for being the family historian and telling and retelling familiar stories filled with the love of friends, family and her many adventures. She visited Todd in Australia and the memories of those experiences will be cherished by her family forever. Lorraine loved attending events surrounding all her boys’ interests and hobbies and was known for cheering them on at bicycle races, running events and many graduate and post-graduate ceremonies.

Lorraine retired in 1992 after 33 years of being employed in various telecommunications positions at Wisconsin Bell and AT &T and was a very early pioneer for women serving in professional positions in the workplace by advancing into management early in her career.

Lorraine was devoted to her church family at Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Fond du Lac and enjoyed serving during the various volunteer opportunities which came her way as a result.
