In light of Lorraine's lesser-known diagnosis of Gall Bladder Cancer (It does exist!), in lieu of flowers the family requests donations to Mary's Place By the Sea, PO Box 86, Ocean Grove NJ 07756 or visit website: marysplacebythesea.org. It is a guest home which provides vibrant women like Lorraine much needed respite and support to face the ill-effects of a cancer diagnosis.

Lorraine was a vital part of SLH elementary school. She was a kind and caring person who cared about our school and our children. She was a wonderful person to know and when we met after her retirement she would always warmly hug me and ask about my boys! Always sincere and caring. Our condolences to her family.

Chris, Alisa and Leanne and Family,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of spending time with your family in Spring Lake when we were kids. I know it meant a lot to my parents to be able to re-connect and spend time with all of you. I hope your fond memories of time spent together will help you through this difficult time.

Mrs. Manthey was a lovely woman and a very caring member of the Spring Lake Heights Elementary School staff. Her hellos and chats were always so meaningful and she was a kind-hearted person.
