Alice Lorraine was born July 25, 1926, to Robert Oliver and Alice (Seip) Elmore, on their farm in Verona Township. She attended country school through the 8th grade and then continued her education on the farm, helping her family wherever she was needed.

Lorraine married Roger Chaffee on April 7, 1956, in Blue Earth. The couple was blessed with five children. Lorraine raised her family and kept the home. She was a member of United Methodist Church in Winnebago, as well as a member of the American Legion Auxiliary. She enjoyed her bowling league and playing bingo at Schooters. Most of all, Lorraine enjoyed spending time with her family. Her grandchildren held a special place in her heart.
