Lorraine has one brother, Marvin. Growing up, Lorraine and her family were very musical. As a child, she learned to play the piano, clarinet and the alto horn. Lorraine had a long history with her husband, Gene. They were sweethearts who decided to go their separate ways after high school. It wasn’t until after college that they had reunited and eventually were married in 1948 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Warrensburg, Mo. Gene and Lorraine have three children; two boys, Chris and Curtis and a daughter, Annette. Lorraine has been blessed with five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Lorraine has worked a variety of jobs throughout her lifetime. She worked as a secretary for the Dean of Students at Central Missouri State and also spent several years teaching. In 1960, Lorraine, Gene and their family moved to Branson and purchased the Indian Point Marina on Table Rock Lake. Gene enjoyed operating the business while Lorraine worked in the office. Lorraine put her secretarial skills to work at Silver Dollar City. In her spare time, Lorraine would share her passion for music with others by playing the organ and piano for small churches. She enjoys spending time reading, sewing, quilting, and crafting. A resident of Bolivar since 1995, Lorraine shared that she has always liked the friendliness and closeness of the community. In August 2014, Lorraine became part of the Parkview Healthcare Facility family. She enjoys all the new friends she has made while living here. Lorraine enjoys participating in the daily activities and enjoys being a resident of Parkview, but hopes to return home in the near future. Congratulations Lorraine on being chosen as the Parkview Healthcare Facility Resident of the Month! Are you a caring individual who would like to assist in caring for the elderly?
