Lorraine Anita Fee, 83, of Nampa, passed away April 2, 2015. She was born March 5, 1932, in Los Angeles, California, to Ira Frank Martin, Sr. and Sarah Armstrong Martin. Lorraine's parents ran a boarding house, and it was there that she met her future husband, Wayne Frederick Fee, who lived there before World War II. When Wayne got his "Greetings from the government" letter, he returned home to his parents in Iowa and joined the military there. After the war, he returned to the boarding house, along with a buddy. In time, Wayne and Lorraine began dating. They were married in Arizona on October 25, 1949. They lived in Montclair, California, for 29 years. They moved to Apple Valley, California, Las Vegas, Nevada, and then made their final home in Nampa, Idaho. Lorraine participated in various jobs throughout her lifetime, including working as a retail clerk, a bookkeeper for her husband in an auto repair business, and a licensed childcare provider. Lorraine and Wayne were active members of the First Southern Baptist Church in Nampa. She enjoyed singing in the choir, teaching Sunday school, and assisting in many other activities. Lorraine was preceded in death by her husband Wayne Frederick Fee; parents; brothers and sisters: Thomas Henry Martin, Ira Frank Martin Jr., Ruth Claire Martin, and Marilyn Elizabeth Brown. She is survived by three children: Christine Mae Sugg (Dale), Curtis Donovan Fee, and Sharon Marie Pino (Raymond); five grandchildren: Donovan Eric Wishon (Christy), Jeremiah Kain Wishon (Shannon), Jessica Ann Dell (John), Jennifer Marie Delgado (Joey), Wendi Catherine Marie Kidwell; five great-grandchildren: Zane Evan Porter, Dylan Lee Wishon, Johnny Philip Dell, Jr., Lace Terry Dell, Charlotte Rose Delgado; and many nieces and nephews. We are grateful to the many friends and family who enriched their lives so much and kept Lorraine in their prayers.
