Lorraine was one of the sweetest women I had ever met and she was an amazing great grandma to Dakota and Dylan. Condolences to the family for the loss of an amazing woman.

Tom, even though it’s been a long time, I remember how lovely your mother was. My condolences to you and your family . Lila Hutchings Hoover.
I worked with Lorraine when she was employed by the Second Judicial District Department of Correctional Services (the adult probation office) in Fort Dodge, Iowa. She was kind, gentle, and thoughtful at all times. Lorraine conducted herself with such dignity and she took great pride in her work. I am sorry to hear of Lorraine’s passing – she is someone I have always remembered with great fondness. Pat Cargin
