Lorraine A. Helten
August 12, 1929 — August 1, 2023
Lorraine A. Helten (Johnson), 93, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 1, 2023, at St. Ann's Hospital in Westerville, Ohio, surrounded by family and loved ones. Lorraine will be deeply missed by those who loved her.
Lorraine was born on August 12, 1929 to Otto and Jorgine Johnson in rural Claire City South Dakota
Lorraine was survived by her son and daughter-in-law Chris and Karen Helten; grandchildren Kayleigh and Tyler Evans, Alexis Helten, and Christopher Helten; great grandchildren William Evans and Holden Evans. Nieces Diane and Alan Reuteler, Muriel Mattson, Joyce Simonson, Nephews Paul and Sandy Smith, Robert Smith, Diane Perfecto, Curtis and Dianne Smith, Jeff and Nancy Johnson.
She is preceded in death by her parents Otto and Jorgine; her husband Clarence Helten; eight siblings, Merlin, Jewett, Orley, Orley, Idella, Olga, Jane, Geraldine; Nephews Willard Johnson, Dwight Johnson and special friend Don Peterson
Lorraine was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She loved to travel, capturing countless memories and was very proud of her Norwegian heritage, but her greatest love was that for her family. Lorraine was always there for every birthday, anniversary, kids sporting event, school play, or concert.
Lorraine also loved fishing and spent many summer weekends with her husband and son taking advantage of the bountiful fishing opportunities in the land of 10,000 lakes. As she grew older her interest turned to art where she became an avid collector of local artwork which she always shared with friends and family
Lorraine's love and passion for her family and friends will be missed deeply in the lives she touched. Now she will provide direction by what she has taught us and the way she has impacted our lives. She will be the light that guides. She will be missed deeply, loved forever, and remembered proudly.
Her final advice: Be here together, Be here with Love, Be grateful to be here together with Love
A private service will be held in Minnesota at the convenience of the family.
