Born June 2, 1926, in Indianapolis, Indiana, she was the daughter of Lloyd Weston and Ruth (Beatty), she was one of six children of Lloyd and Ruth.

Loraine met the love of her life, Harold McAfee while ice skating in the winter of 1946. They began their 73-year marriage in April of 1948, when Harold returned from his service in the Army in the 10 th mountain division in WW II. They married in the "Little Church around the corner" an Episcopal Church in Manhattan, which has a very inspirational history.

Loraine had a challenging career in the corporate office department of JCPenney in Manhattan for 40 years. She and Harold led a very active life skiing, camping, hiking, ice skating and enjoyed water sports and playing tennis. Loraine was a wonderful homemaker; she loved sewing her own clothes and knitting beautiful sweaters.
