Lorraine was born in Chicago, IL raised in Whiting, Indiana, and was a 1947 graduate of Whiting High School. After marrying Ted, Lorraine then resided in Munster and Lakes of the Four Seasons, before returning to Munster at Hartsfield Village. She was a loving mother who was very active in her community and various charitable organizations. She loved shopping (especially Marshall Field’s), keeping a clean house, Germick Girls Trips, pina coladas, ice cream (any kind), a good piece of chocolate candy, visiting with her girlfriends, golfing, needlepoint, ceramics (years ago) and spending time with her children and grandchildren. She had a great sense of humor, a wonderful laugh, an amazing sense of direction, and a very good memory. However, it was her faith that was most important to her, which brought her strength and comfort.
Special thanks to all the Visiting Angels that helped and cared for her these last 8 years and the Hospice Team that assisted with her care the last two years.
