LORRAINE (OPP) 1926-2011 Age 84, a resident of Phoenix, Ariz., formerly of Belen, N.M., passed away peacefully on Monday, Aug. 8. She was born on Sept. 17, 1926 in Hazelton, N.D. When she was seventeen years old, she met the love of her life, Carl Steiner and they wed two years later after the war. Lorraine embraced Jesus and became a Catholic soon after. They lived a loving and blessed life together for 65 years.
