Lorraine will be remembered for her love of history and antiquities. She was on the committee for the Wayne Township Historical Society. She also ran an antique shop with her daughter, Patricia.

Lorraine was known for her love of cooking and entertaining for the holidays, her family lovingly called her “Just in Case Caterers” as she always wanted to cook regardless of the function.
