There, Lorraine was a stay at home mom raising two young boys and keeping a large garden and raising chickens. In April of 1964 Lorraine started working at the Wheelers Store as a part time clerk until June of 1969 when Thad and Lorraine moved to West Point Nebraska for a year. Upon returning to Ord, Lorraine resumed her job at Wheelers in 1970 where she worked part time until 1976 then she became a full time head cashier until her retirement in March of 1989.

She was a lifetime member of the Ord Chapter of the VFW Auxiliary and the American Legion Auxiliary. Her hobbies included crocheting, making quilts, gardening and canning. Thad and Lorraine spent much of their retirement years camping and fishing in the many local lakes and ponds. They loved to travel with their lifelong friends Bob and Bea Coats and her nephew Fr. Hubert Spanel, and saw much of the United States. Lorraine was an avid card player and loved to play Bingo which she enjoyed right up to her passing.
