She grew up in St. Paul (actually, she and Ken were on the same street and in grade school together). She attended Central High School in St. Paul and married shortly after graduation. Lorraine is survived by her children Pat Townsend of St. Paul, Mary Jo Tucker of St. Paul, Karen Bossand of St. Paul, Kay Pohl of St. Paul; also, her sons Thomas of Naples FL and Scott and John Tierney of St. Paul, Minn. She was predeceased by her daughter Barbara McMann. She also has 9 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
In 1984, she married Ken Thomford and they enjoyed 32 years together. In retirement, they moved from St. Paul to northern Wisconsin near Spooner on a lake. They actually had a “fishing honeymoon” – one of the things she enjoyed doing – fishing for walleye. They did a fair amount of traveling in a motor home for over a year; snow birded in Sebastian, FL until they finally bought a place there, before finally moving to Capron Ridge, Melbourne, three years ago.
