She married Earl John (Bud) Carstens on May 28, 1945, and they divorced in 1967. He is deceased. Lorraine is survived by daughter Diana Mae Stolley and husband Roger A. Stolley of Keizer, Oregon; and grandchildren Beau, Christopher, and Molly Dunstan of Eugene, Dawn Marie Hert, Kristin Ringer of The Dalles, and Shannon Carrier, Tigard, and several great-grandchildren.
Lorraine worked for many years as a bookkeeper and clerk at Safeway Grocery Stores in Pendleton. She had also owned a Mode-O-Day clothing store in downtown Pendleton. She loved to garden, can and cook, and was a historian. She loved reading mystery novels. She moved to Cottage Grove in 1997.
