Born in Jersey City, New Jersey on May 2, 1937, she was the daughter of the late John and Mary (McMonegal) MacIntosh. Lorraine was employed by Mutual of New York Insurance Company (MONY), then the North Bergen Board of Education, until her retirement in 2003. She was a parishioner at St. Mary, Mother of the Church in Fishkill.

Lorraine retired after a more than 45-year career to move from her beloved New Jersey to Beacon, New York to await the birth of her granddaughter. She enjoyed shopping, visiting the Jersey Shore (especially Ocean Grove), restaurants, and spending time with her family and friends. The biggest joy in her life was watching her granddaughter Amanda grow up. Lorraine enthusiastically attended all of Amanda's dance recitals, plays and school events. Amanda was truly the light of her life.
