She worked on the assembly line for Thomas and Betts company in Elizabeth for many years, previously she was a Teacher's Aide in the Special Education Department for the Elizabeth Board of Education where her students adored her.

Lorraine was the type of person who would give you the shirt off her back.  She was always looking to help others, even if it meant putting them in front of herself.  She was a selfless person and donated to many charities to help as many people as she could, especially when it came to children.

Lorraine was the loving and devoted mother of Gina Senese, and Frances Gann and her husband Gary. Sister to the late Mary Jorge. Cherished grandmother to Jason Salazar, Kyle and Kiersten Gann and dear aunt to Dennis Jorge. Her children and grandchildren meant the world to her and were the most important people in her life.
