Family meant the world to Lorraine. She held her children close and always wanted to know that everyone was safe at home. Being surrounded by family at holidays, weddings, baptisms and other special occasions was when she was happiest. She was an amazing role model to all of her children and especially her grandchildren. Lorraine liked to laugh, impart wisdom and could keep a secret. As the hub of family information, everyone shared private moments with her. A lifelong fan, she never missed a Packer game or Jeopardy! and enjoyed watching Sunday golf tournaments with her husband and son.
The heart and soul of our family will be deeply missed by each of her four children, nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Lorraine was a devout Catholic and looked forward to being reunited with her husband in heaven.
Special thanks to St. Camillus nurses and aides, in particular, Tracy, Angie and Joyce who took wonderful care of her.
