A native of Henry and a resident of Erath, Lorraine died at 1:40PM on Saturday, June 2, 2018 at her residence. After marrying Rodney E. Simon, they spent the first years of marriage in Columbus, Texas where they began raising their family.  Five years later, they returned to Erath where they resided for the remainder of their lives.  In 1963, Lorraine began her career in banking working for The First National Bank in the bookkeeping department, retiring after 20 years.  Her career allowed her the opportunity to shape many lifelong friendships.  In 1969, Rodney and Lorraine founded Discount Tire Center, Inc. and are blessed with its continued success to date.  Lorraine was a dedicated member Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Daughter’s, Our Lady of Lourdes Alter Society, and Erath Demi Tasse Coffee Club. 
 Lorraine was a devoted wife and mother who loved and cherished her family, especially her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.  She was known for her nurturing heart and quick humor.  One of her greatest pleasures in life was cooking a feast for her family on Sunday’s and having everyone over. Lorraine’s favorite past time was going eat out with her closest friends.  During her lifetime, Lorraine’s generous heart shined bright in spoiling her family.      
She is survived by three daughters, Libby LeMaire and her husband Nolan of Abbeville, Kathy Hotard and her husband Brian of Erath, and Denise Davenport and her husband Charles of Erath; one sister, Frances Lachausse; 5 grandchildren, Chris LeMaire, Ashley Vincent, Michelle Hebert, Jan Talbot, and Charise Bergeron, fifteen great grandchildren, Brittlyn (Sister Theresa of the Carmelites of Lafayette)Sonnier; Jordan Sonnier, Catherine Sonnier, Lauren Sonnier, Hailey Vincent, Alyssa Vincent, Madelyn LeMaire, Camden LeMaire, Alex Bergeron, Nick Bergeron, Megan Langlinais, Matthew Baudoin, Ryan Richard, Julia Hebert, and Ann Marie Hebert; and one great great grandchild, Leighton Bergeron.
