Lorraine was a member of the Luverne Christian Reformed Church. Music served as a big part in her life – playing piano and accordion, singing in a ladies trio for many years and serving as a church organist for 40 years in the Luverne Christian Reformed Church. Lorraine enjoyed nature, especially bird watching, camping with her family and friends, flowers, embroidering work and knitting. Over the years she made many afghans for gifts and donation sales.
Those left to cherish Lorraine’s memory are her son, Randy and his wife Sara Van Nieuwenhuizen of Luverne; a sister, Elizabeth Van’t Hof of Leota, Minnesota; a brother, Dr. James and his wife Marcia Vergrugge of Watkinsville, Georgia; and other family and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Don in 2013; daughter, Darla Joy in 1991; parents, James and Jennie Verbrugge; a sister, Marie Schelhaas; two brothers-in-law, Tony Van’t Hof and Bert Schelhaas; two nephews and a niece.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to an organization of the donor's choice.
