Lorraine "Rainie" Eleanor Moen, 88, West Fargo, ND, treasured wife, mother and grandmother, passed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on February 24, 2013, at Bethany on University, Fargo, ND, with her husband by her side.

Lorraine Carpenter was born November 19, 1924 in Moorhead, MN. She worked at Concordia College and later in area elementary schools in food service, where she blessed many with her hospitality gifts and love of people.

On March 11, 1960, Lorraine married Melford "Andy" Moen. In the late 1970's Andy and Lorraine moved just outside West Fargo, on a wonderful piece of land where she enjoyed flowers, especially lilacs and bleeding hearts, hanging laundry, picking berries, canning, baking and frequent visits from her children and grandchildren.

Lorraine enjoyed visiting with people, the companionship of her pets, and serving others. She also loved getting her hair done and visiting with those at the beauty shop. Andy and Lorraine attended Faith Lutheran in West Fargo.
She loved her 3 boys deeply and experienced great joy with her family.

Lorraine was a strong, loving and generous daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She loved and served her family well. Loved by all, she will be remembered for her visits around the kitchen table, her delicious baked goods that blessed us all and her faith in God. She was a great listener and was intentional in the way she showed her love.
