She had been a member of Avondale Baptist Church, but recently was affiliated with HighPoint Community Church, Orange Park, FL.
Although her life was spent as a wife of 61 years and a mother of 73 years, she did work along side of her husband as a supportive business partner of Stewart Lighting. She loved studying and reading the Bible. Her passions were for Christian ministries, both at home and abroad, which she supported in person when she was able, and then financially.
Lorraine was predeceased by her husband, George Leland Stewart.
