Lorraine Sophia Hopkins

She is preceded in death by her husband Charles Hopkins 1934-2008 and survived by sons Ronald and Keith Hopkins.

Lorraine was born on November 7th, 1934 in St. Paul, Minnesota to Ambrose and Lottie (Sievert) Kusterman. She graduated from Washington Senior high in 1953 and on the 16th day of July, 1955, she was wed to Charles George Hopkins also from St. Paul, MN. She was an extremely, tireless worker who’s main position was that of a full time factory worker and a full time housewife. On the 4th day of May, 1958 she gave birth to her son Ronald. She and Charles (Chuck as he preferred) lived at 844 W. Minnehaha in St. Paul until October 1965 when they took up residence in the suburb of Maplewood and she remained there until the day of her passing. On November 7th, 1968, she gave birth to a second son they named Keith James. Lorraine was a selfless woman, who’s concern for the needs of others was legendary, those who met her instantly fell for the warmth she so graciously gave.

Survivors include her sons Ronald and Keith and Keith’s two children Jordan and Shyann. And her best friend Sher Stiles (a true member of the family).

It was Lorraine’s wish to be cremated and as of this writing no memorials are scheduled.

~Lorraine was an Angel long before the Lord called her home, and now her wings take her to the ultimate destination. Fare Thee Well sweet lady, your memory will forever grace and enrich our minds.
