Lorraine was born April 13, 1934 at the family farm in rural Essex, Iowa to Glenn and Edna (Burr) Klepinger. She was raised on the farm and graduated from Shenandoah High School. Lorraine was united in marriage to Gene Neveln in 1955. Following their divorce, Lorraine settled in Red Oak and raised three children. She moved to Minnesota 28 years ago. Lorraine enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, supporting their many interests. "Grandma" attended nearly all of their sporting events, concerts, and other various activities, and was their #1 fan. She also enjoyed cheering on the Minnesota sports teams and loved keeping up on current events. Her faith was very important to her, carrying her through her life journey.

She was also eagerly anticipating the arrival of her third great grandchild in March. Her presence will always be felt and her infectious smile will be missed by many.
