Lorraine Alice Jarman was born on July 31, 1923, in Doland, South Dakota. She was the daughter of Raymond Jens Baggesgard and Emily Irene Board. She grew up and graduated from Doland High School and continued her education with Cosmetology/Beauty School.

Lorraine enjoyed many years owning her own beauty shop where she met and married her husband of 68 years, Wesley P. Jarman.

Together they enjoyed traveling and spending their winters in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for 20 years and Mesa, Arizona.

Lorraine was a member of the First United Methodist Church. Lorraine loved life, her faith, friends from all over the United States, Eastern Star (Grand Officer), Garden Club, flowers, embroidery, baking (the best chocolate chip cookies), cooking (her infamous potato salad), gardening and above all her loving family. She often said she would spend her last penny on a flower!

My Garden of Prayer

My garden beautifies my yard

and adds fragrance to the air..

But it is also my cathedral

and my quiet place of prayer..

So little do we realize

That "The Glory and The Power"

Of He who made the universe

lies hidden in a flower.
