Lorraine Salazar

While working full time and raising her two daughters, Lorraine earned her degree, which elevated her to a more advanced position with Hewlett Packard and later with Crop Production Services. She placed a very high value on education, and earning her degree inspired many members of her immediate and extended family to do the same.

Lorraine had a heart of gold and loved spending time with her family and friends. She dedicated her free time to putting together family events and always made sure that friends felt like they were a part of her family. Lorraine’s unconditional commitment and love to her children and grandchildren was something to be admired. She also worked passionately with the Our Lady of Peace youth group in the 1990’s.
