Lorrie was born on June 3, 1971, at St. Peter’s Hospital in Melville, to Vern and Dorothy Hack.

She worked as a live-in nanny for a couple of years, waitress, assembly line worker, and a clerk at Home Hardware.
Lorrie had the love for children. She spent lots of time with her nieces and nephews before having children of her own. Her hobbies included gardening, knitting, baking and board games.
Lorrie first met the love of her life, Wally McKay, in elementary school and later reconnected at a social outing. Lorrie and Wally were blessed with three children: Elijah (2003), Noah (2004) and Elisabeth (2005). Lorrie and Wally got married on Sept. 5, 2015, in Melville.
