She worked for Steketee’s Department Store as a cosmetics consultant.
Lorraine was a woman of great faith and was active in her church home of Immanuel Lutheran where she sang in the choir and was an active volunteer. She sewed lap quilts and donated them to area hospitals as well as generously donating her blood helping countless lives in her community.
Lorraine was a talented artist and painter.
Most importantly, Lorraine was a mother, grandmother, and a child of God. Her loving and generous spirit and her faith will forever remain her legacy as she is missed by all who knew her.
Lorraine is survived by her children: Alan (Alyson) Kieda, Daniel (Jean) Kieda, Janet (Saleem) Durvesh, and Sharon (Rick) Vandekopple; 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Aloysius Kieda, in 2013, her cousin Dorothy Schulz, and her parents.
A private service will be held at Lorraine’s church home, and she will be buried next to her husband and mother in Fairplains Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Immanuel Lutheran Church.
