Lorraine was born July 5, 1930 to Gotfred and Bertha Skare Berland, south of Lake Park, Minnesota, where she grew up and attended country school. She married Vernon Wamre on October 27, 1950, and they made their home in Hawley, Minnesota. They owned and operated Vern's Service Gas Station in Hawley for over five years. After the sale of the station, she stayed at home while her girls grew up. Vernon died in 1974. Lorraine worked at several businesses in Hawley and worked at Carl's Lefse until she retired. She loved her birds, flowers, ceramics, baking, cooking, having coffee parties with her friends, laughing and making everyone feel at home when they came to visit.
