She was made a child of God through the washing of Holy Baptism on May 31, 1959 & confirmed on March 30, 1980 at Cross Lutheran Church, Rockford by Pastor W.E. Neumann. Lorna was a lifelong member of Cross Lutheran Church.
Lorna was employed for many years at Functional Industries in Buffalo. She worked in house & also outside of Functional at a hotel in Plymouth, a greenhouse in Monticello, a munitions factory & a dental supply business in Maple Lake. She especially loved the greenhouse work in the spring.
Preceded in death by her parents.
Survived by her sisters, Carol (Elwood) Rentz, Janice (Bart) Skafte & Ruth (Michael) Filbrandt; brother, Allen Witte. She is also survived by her dedicated caregivers, Angie & John Praught & many nieces, nephews & cousins.
Walt and his wife along with Lorna bought my parents cabin on Lake Charlotte in approx 1978. We moved to the lake permanently and I remember Lorna—-a sweet woman and great parents who loved her so.
God has received a wonderful angel. Lorna always gave the best hugs when we were little. Sending prayers and love to the family.
