With great sadness we announce the passing of Loraine Rothenberger Sanders, who peacefully left us on July 8, 2025 at the age of 84. She was the devoted wife of 61 years to Robert Sanders. She is survived by Scott and Kate Sanders of Cape Girardeau, Missouri; Mark Sanders of Conroe, Texas; and three grandchildren Morgan Sanders, Grace Sanders, and Ben Sanders.
Loraine was known for always putting others first. Her smile and laugh would fill the room. She overcame many challenges in life including three battles with cancer. Loraine’s strength and optimism were a blessing to all those around her.
Loraine served as an office manager for 30 years at Metcalf Funeral Home in Conroe and then worked for Schmidt Memorials for another 19 years. Her favorite role was being ‘Mimi’ to her three grandchildren. She and Robert are members of Tree of Life Lutheran in Conroe.
A visitation for Loraine will be held Sunday, July 13, 2025 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Metcalf Funeral Directors, 1801 East White Oak Terrace, Conroe, Texas. A graveside service and interment will occur Monday, July 14, 2025 at 1:00 PM at Forest Lawn Cemetery, 4955 Pine St., Beaumont, Texas. In lieu of flowers memorials can be made to Headwaters for Heroes and Conroe Animal Shelter.
