She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, CCW. She was Life Member of the American Legion Auxiliary and VFW Auxiliary.

Lorraine was an excellent wife and mother. She made farm chores fun for her children to do when they were young and always went all out to celebrate holidays with her family. She believed in creating great memories for her children, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. Lorraine also enjoyed family gatherings, playing cards and spending time with her grandsons. In the last few years of her life she enjoyed getting her hair done while having fun listening to and watching the antics of Karen Reynolds and Katie Abing. Lorraine will be truly missed by all who knew her.

Lorraine is survived by her husband, Herb; three children, Diane Hottenstein, Patti (Ron) Reynolds, and Dennis (Wendy) Hottenstein; two grandsons, Drew and Derek; brothers-in-law, Bob Burbach and Merv (Wanda) Hottenstein; and many nieces, nephews, and special friends.
