Lorraine Olson
April 23, 1927 — December 20, 2016
Lorraine Belle Olson, 89, died peacefully on December 20, 2016 at the Thomas House in Perham, MN. She was born April 23, 1927 in Henning, MN to August and Belle (Halvorson) Loser. Lorraine grew up on a farm with her parents and three siblings Margaret, Kenny and LaVella in rural Henning where she also attended a small country school.

Lorraine loved spending time with her family and friends. Her love of gardening, country music, old-time dances at HiWay Park, shopping, crocheting and sewing all brought her much joy. Unfortunately, in her later years glaucoma took away her eyesight and dementia her memory.
