Lorraine was born in Mountain Home, Idaho on September 24, 1929, to James W. and Hattie Claudis Beach. She graduated from Mountain Home High School in 1947 and was Salutatorian of her graduating class. She married the love of her life, Zeph Hayward Foster in 1950 in College Place, Washington. She graduated from the University of Idaho in 1957 with a Bachelor of Science in Education, and from Colorado State College with a Master of Arts in Education in 1960. She taught school, elementary through university and thoroughly loved the classroom. She thought any other profession paled when compared to the joys of teaching and watching students learn.
