Lorraine graduated from Superior Central High School in 1945. She married Arvi Luoma in 1946, and had two children, Victor and Mary.

Lorraine was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and friend. She was known as a hard worker, putting herself through nursing school in the 1950's and raising her two children. She worked for 35+ years as a nurse at St. Luke's Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital in Superior, and Middle River Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Lorraine married the love of her life, Louis Pearson in 1975. Together they enjoyed spending hours together in service, traveling, and time with friends and family. There was lots of laughter and card playing.
