Just wish to convey our sympathies to all her family. And this comes from Allene Stepp,Betty Magruder’s mother, from Jo Ann & David Fain,Betty’s sister and brother-in-law. Betty knew Billy & Lorraine for many years through the Deaf Club. They were good friends.God Bless you.
I shall miss Lorraine’s wonderful smile and mischevious sense of humor. The world is darker place without her.
I was very sorry to learn of Lorraine’s passing. I work for the City of Asheville and I remember her well. My sympathy goes out to her family and friends.
We were so sorry to hear about Lorraine’s passing away. She was one of our good friends and she will be greatly missed. Hopefully, she will now rest in peace.
