Lorraine was born on January 30th, 1934, in Fredericksburg, TX, to
Harvey Gustav Gold and Rose Madeline Knopp Gold.
She met her husband, William, in San Antonio, TX,
when she attended a free class at Arthur Murray’s Dance Studio.
William was in the Air Force and working part-time as a dance instructor.
William saw she had rhythm and the rest is history!
They kept the beat going for 64 happy years celebrating
their anniversary on April 8th, 2020.

Lorraine was a devoted wife and stay-at-home mom raising four kids.
Later in life she went back to school and became a RN, just like her mother.
She worked for over 20 years in the medical profession before retiring at 61.
William and Lorraine spent most of their years in
El Paso, Texas, and moved up to Las Vegas ten years ago.
