Lorraine was a beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, cousin, neighbor, and friend. For many years, Lorraine was a local restaurant cook and had many regular patrons due to the delicious meals she prepared. Lorraine thoroughly enjoyed working at Wayland High School for 27 years and always held many fond memories of interactions with staff and students.

A private Mass of Christian Burial has been held at St. Therese Catholic Church. Due to Covid restrictions, the Mass service was a private family celebration.
