Lorraine was a wife, a mother, and grandmother with a loving heart who dedicated her life to her family and always taking care of others. She loved spending time with her family and lifelong friends. Her sweet and loving personality was as beautiful as the flowers she loved to tend to each year. To know her was to love her and she will forever remain in our hearts.

Her beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her husband Robert W. Furman of Riverton; daughter, Pamelia (Steve) Christine of Riverton; son, Robert G. Furman of Florida; brother Gary (Deanna) Brashear of Florida; sister, Debra (Ron) Rawlings of Georgia; grandchildren, Josh (Amaya) Christine of Sherman and Kari Christine of Riverton; and great-grandchildren, Karli Christine, Hailey and Katelyn Furman, Emma, Brody, and Griffen Christine.
