After graduating from Osnabrock High School, she earned her Standard teaching certificate from Moorhead State. She began her teaching career in Wolf Point before moving to Great Falls. She met her husband,  Ronald Zobrak, when he was stationed at Malmstrom  AFB. They married in Coeur d\u2019Alene, Idaho. As an Air Force family, they lived in Italy, Germany, Taiwan and in several states while raising  their children, Rochelle, Ronald and Shawn. Lorrayne shared many memories of traveling overseas, entertaining,  and camping. Ron died in 1979, while stationed at Minot AFB.<br \/>\n\t  Lorrayne and her children moved to Great Falls where she earned her Bachelor of Education from the College  of Great Falls. She took a teaching position at Wolf Point where she inspired, encouraged  and motivated hundreds  of students. Throughout  the years, many students reached out to Lorrayne to thank her and shared favorite memories. She remembered each student fondly.<br \/>\n\t  She retired to Great Falls and continued her love for children and education through her grandchildren\u2019s activities and volunteering in their schools. She enjoyed traveling and playing cards with friends. Lorrayne never turned down an opportunity  to shop. Socializing and travel were her two of her biggest passions. Lorrayne always had the ability to bring smiles and a sense of lightheartedness to the room. She was \u201cNana\u201d from the first grandchild to the youngest  great-grandchild, playing  games and singing silly songs, hoping at least a few would try a bite of Lutefisk. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"news-destination":[14],"news-source":[11],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102120"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102120"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":102262,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102120\/revisions\/102262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102120"},{"taxonomy":"news-destination","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-destination?post=102120"},{"taxonomy":"news-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northernplainsindependent.com\/northernplainsindependent\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-source?post=102120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
