Her sisters are Alice Neuman, Doris Dorsch, Helen Helle, Lois Smith, and Pat Myaer. Lorraine attended country school through the 8th grade. She then worked for a time at the Ginrich mailroom and took care of the family's two children. 

Lorraine married Arthur Wolter on June 23, 1944, at the Catholic Church in Foxhome, MN. They purchased a farmstead southeast of Breckenridge, MN, and were blessed with four children. Lorraine spent her adult life as a farm wife. She was a member of the Eagle's Auxiliary. 

Lorraine loved spending time with her children and grandchildren, and they have many fond memories of helping Lorraine put puzzles together while visiting. She enjoyed embroidery, sewing, and needlework. When each grandchild got married, she blessed them with a beautiful wedding quilt. Spending time outdoors was Lorraine's favorite, and she was especially proud of her well-manicured lawn. Lorraine also loved cooking and baking and trying new recipes. Summer afternoons would always find her listening to the Twin's Baseball games on the radio while she did her housework. She and Art did a lot of traveling together which included visiting Las Vegas and visiting her three sisters in California. After Art died in May of 2008, Lorraine moved to Twin Town Villa in Breckenridge. Most recently, Lorrain resided at St. Francis Home in Breckenridge.
