She died September 15, 2004 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Lorraine's parents died when she was young. At age 13, she went to live with her Uncle Walt and Aunt Ona Green and their children, Mary Lou, Chad, and Kent. They raised her and became her family. Her Uncle Walt owned a creamery for most of his working life, and Lorraine became very skilled at scooping ice cream and wrapping butter. Lorraine graduated from high school in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1937. Upon graduation, Lorraine's family moved to Sheridan, Wyoming. In 1941, Lorraine received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wyoming in Laramie, majoring in Home Economics. After college, she taught high school Home Economics in Lusk, Wyoming for a year and then Gillette, Wyoming for 6 years. In Gillette, she found herself teaching chemistry when the chemistry teacher went into the service during WWII. Later, she became a Home Demonstration Agent for Albany County, Wyoming in Laramie for 8 years, doing such things as women's extension programs, 4-H, and a weekly radio program with the County Agent. Lorraine married Raymond V. Adolphson on August 14, 1954 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Ray was a civil engineer with the U.S. Forest Service. Ray's job took the family to a number of places, and God blessed Lorraine with teaching positions wherever they went. Four years after they were married, they left Laramie, Wyoming for Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where they resided for 4 years; then Lincoln, Nebraska for 5 years; then Chadron, Nebraska for 4 years, and Lakewood, Colorado for 23 years. Lorraine taught at Bear Creek High School from 1972 to 1983. September 1, 1983, Lorraine, who was referred to by her students as "Mrs. A." retired from teaching after 40 years. She always loved working with young people and little children and had a marvelous rapport with them. After retirement, she volunteered at St. Luke's Hospital in Denver at the information desk. Lorraine was active in her church wherever she lived, was a member of Chapter GE, PEO (a Philanthropic Educational Organization) in Lakewood for many years and was active with the Professional Engineers of Colorado Women's Auxiliary-Jefferson County Chapter. Ray and Lorraine moved to Loveland, Colorado in 1994 to be closer to their daughter, Jan. Lorraine lived out the rest of her life there. Lorraine is now with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In this life she will be greatly missed. She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; brother, Roger Green; sister, Marjorie Dupuis; Uncle Walt, Aunt Ona and Cousin Chad Green.
