Obituary for Lorraine E. Nelson
Lorraine E. (McKenzie) Nelson, 90, of Frederic, WI passed away peacefully at Frederic Nursing and Rehab on September 23, 2014.
She was born on July 18, 1924 in Lorain Township to Arthur and Essie (Johnson) McKenzie. The family first moved to Grantsburg, WI and then moved to Milltown, WI when Lorraine was in the 3rd grade.
Lorraine married Raymond Nelson on April 12, 1945. To this union three children were born: Patricia, Gary and Kenny.
She worked at Stella Cheese early on and after moving back to Milltown from North Dakota, she was employed at the ASC office in Balsam Lake until her retirement.
Lorraine and Ray lived in Milltown and then built a home on Half Moon Lake (next to brother Earl). Living on the lake was perfect for them because they loved fishing, both in the winter and summer months. Lorraine cleaned and cooked all the fish and according to her, caught the most. She also enjoyed camping, playing cards and going to the casino.
Lorraine spent the last ten years of her life at the Frederic Nursing Home.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Lloyd, Willie, Russell, Al, Earl and Curtis; and sisters, Matie, Ada and Lucille.
She is survived by her brother, Melvin; children, Patricia (John) Blake, Gary (Diane) Nelson and Kenneth Nelson; grandchildren, Toni (Andrew) Quinn, Damon Blake, Nathan (Nancy) Blake, Travis Nelson, Megan Nelson and great-grandchild, Isabella Blake.
Funeral services will be held at the Rowe Funeral Home in Luck on Friday, September 26th visitation will begin at 3:00 p.m. with the service to follow at 4:00 p.m. Lorraine will be laid to rest at the Luck Village Cemetery following the service.
