To Lorraine's wonderful family,
The Becker's have been mainstays at the Lake for all the years I have been going there and it was always so comforting to see the lights on at their house when when they were there. She always had a smile on her face and she just enjoyed life. She was a wonderful wife, daughter, mother and grandmother.....now that is a legacy.
We will miss her---jean mosher

To Henry, Susan, Rick, Tom and your extended families -
My mom knew Lorraine since her kindergarten days in Palmyra, PA - that's truly a lifetime of "best" friendship! I only have fond memories of my childhood summers spent at the Lake - I was probably introduced to the Becker's and Alda when I was about 10 or younger. You have all been a huge part of the Hostetter extended family over the years and Lorraine's smiling face and family friendship will be missed. She had a big heart and I loved her laugh.
Always embrace the many happy memories you have of this wonderful lady, mom & grandma.
We are praying for you during this time of loss; you have our deepest sympathies.
Love,
Fern Hostetter
