Lorraine was an Elementary school Librarian in Syosset Long Island for almost 25 years. She along with her husband Nelson raised their three children in Plainview Long Island. Upon her retirement she moved to Holbrook, Long Island and became a snowbird in Florida. In 2004 she moved to Florida permanently, residing in Coconut Creek, Fl in Wynmoor Village. She loved her life in Wynmoor Village, which included many friends. She loved to play bridge, go to the shows, the Opera, and the Ballet. She was cognizant every day of the wonderful life she was living. Her daughter Wendy, and Marc lived close by and shared in her many pursuits and loves, including traveling on cruises, eating out at restaurants and relaxing at her place after stuffing themselves with all the wonderful snacks she supplied them. My mother was an example to all of what living and loving life is all about. She loved her Family, Children, Grandchildren and Friends. She would say to me all the time “Wendy," I have lived a wonderful life."
