Lorraine was the heart of The Woods Academy for so many years. An amazing colleague, I was blessed to also call her friend. The epitome of grace, she was our Lady Lorraine, setting an example for all. She now joins her beloved John. The world is better for having known them both.

Lorraine was the friendly face as you came through the front door at The Woods Academy for the eight years my daughters attended. She was also a good friend who was very kind to me and my girls through her long friendship with Harry and Marylou Robinson.

What a wonderful, kind woman. I am so thankful that I knew her. She will be missed by so many.
We lost Anne Mullineaux, my mother in law and Lorraine's very close friend, in April of this year. Lorraine was there for the funeral, sharing great stories of their life long friendship.
I hope that their heavenly reunion is full of smiles and hugs!
