Lorain was born on February 8, 1934 in Avondale, Arizona to Boston and Lilly (Hendrick) Justice and graduated from Avondale High School. She married Frank Childs, and they had a daughter, Susan. She then married Jack Inman and had her second daughter, Nancy. Years later, she developed a very special friendship with Paul Ashby and they were together for many years.

Lorain was a past member of Bolton St. Baptist Church in Amarillo where she was the church organist and was currently a member of the First Baptist Church of Canyon.
Lorain thoroughly enjoyed working with the Historical Society and learning about the genealogy of family. She loved canning, traveling with Paul, tending to her treasured dogs, and especially loved spending time with her great grandson, Jack. The Ranch House was a favorite of hers, and she was a daily patron there.
Lorain is preceded in death by her parents and a sister, Maxine.
