Lorraine was known for her love of nature. She could be found at roadside parks, state land trails, and local nature centers. You may find one of her painted rocks along the many trails she explored. Her favorite rock phrase was “Go 2 DWUDZ”! She loved fishing, hunting for mushrooms and nuts, and picking berries until her fingers turned blue. She attracted many birds to feed and loved watching them. She was a master gardener, spending hours to produce enough to can or freeze. She made jams and jellies to share with family and friends. Lorraine also loved music and was a self-taught organist. She loved entertaining friends and family any time she could. Per her wishes, cremation has been chosen, and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Lorraine’s name to The Dahlem Center (7117 South Jackson Road, Jackson, MI 49201).
