Lorraine was born February 22, 1925 in Brownsdale, Minnesota to Walter and Gladys 'Tanner' Grunwaldt. After graduating from high school, Lorraine worked in the office at Hormel Foods in Austin, MN where she met Roger Orr. They were married on July 23, 1944 in Austin and resided there until Roger was transferred to the Fremont Hormel plant in 1947. Lorraine enjoyed homemaking and caring for the family. They relocated to Huron, South Dakota in 1970. Roger retired in 1980 and they moved back to Fremont.
Lorraine was a long-time member of the Fremont First United Methodist Church.
