Later she became the head baker and eventually the District Food Supervisor for the Kennewick School District. She retired in 1982. In the 90s and early 2000s, Lorraine enjoyed helping her daughter Laura with her catering business.
Lorraine's hobbies included playing pinochle and other card games with friends and family. Weekly she played cards with groups, such as the Kennewick Eagles and the Grange. She also enjoyed knitting and needlework, fishing, snow birding in Arizona in the winter, dancing, but most of all spending time with her kids, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Lorraine was a Past President of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Kennewick Grange. She also belonged to the Royal Neighbors of America, Kennewick Cancer Guild, and the Cathedral of Joy.
