They were married on June 16, 1951 and raised four children together. The couple lived for a while in Harrisburg, PA until Ken’s career brought them to North Carolina where they eventually settled.

Lorraine was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem and was active for many years in the Children and Library Ministries.

She enjoyed flowers and was known for her delicious canned apple butter and homemade pickles. Lorraine loved her pets and was a lifelong animal lover.

In addition to her parents, Lorraine was preceded in death by her aunt and uncle.
