She was united in marriage to Robert Flogel on April 23, 1957 at Holy Ghost Catholic Church, Dickeyville. He preceded her in death on June 2, 2018. Lorraine graduated high school from Immaculate Conception Academy, Dubuque, Iowa. She was a dedicated homemaker, she made amazing cookies and treats and always kept a spotless house.
