She was united in marriage to Ed Altrichter on October 22, 1949, at St. James Catholic Church in Randall. Lorraine was a homemaker for many years, and also worked for 23 years as a home health aide for Morrison County. She loved to cook and was very good at it as all of the children in the neighborhood (even some adults), knew what great fresh bread she made. Lorraine also enjoyed gardening and always had a large one. She was a member of the Christian Mothers at St. James in Randall and was very active in the church. Lorraine will be missed by all who knew her.
