a good way to connect with them. She knitted many afghans and quilts, which she 
gave to her family and also donated to the Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids

which she would take to neighbors and friends.

standards to contemporary jazz. Loraine also enjoyed MSU football and 
basketball and carried the Spartan flag for Bud following his passing.
