Lorraine was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She found happiness in the everyday things that made a house a home, whether it was baking, cooking, keeping things clean, or simply spending time with the people she loved. She enjoyed gathering with family and meeting friends for coffee, taking time to visit, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company. Her family meant so much to her, and her strong faith was an important part of her life.
Lorraine was preceded in death by her husband, William; her parents, Peter and Elsie; her brothers, Ed, Bob, and Neil; and her grandson, Kyle Kooi.
She is survived by her children, Keith, David, Allison, and Ken (Carrie) Kooi; her grandchildren, Ryan, Jennifer, Heather, Samantha, and Nathan; and her great-grandchildren, Taylor and Luke.
Lorraine’s love for her family, her faith, and the simple joys of life were what made her special. She will be remembered in the familiar recipes she made, the time she spent with loved ones, the friendships she treasured, and the many little things she did to show she cared.
Though saying goodbye is never easy, the love Lorraine gave and the memories she leaves behind will always be a part of those who knew her. She will be missed more than words can say and remembered with love for years to come.
A visitation to honor and remember Lorraine will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 12:00 pm until the time of memorial service at 2:00 pm at Kuiper Funeral Home, 9039 Kleinman Road, Highland, IN 46322. Family and friends are welcome to gather, share memories, and celebrate Lorraine’s life.
