Lorraine Christine Petersen, age 87, of Askov, MN passed away peacefully on December 25, 2021, at Sandstone Golden Horizon Assisted Living Center in Sandstone, MN.

Lorraine was born on December 15, 1934, to Leonard and Lydia Lund in Askov, MN. She grew up in Askov, graduating from Askov High School. During her high school years Lorraine kept busy with her job at the Askov bank. After graduation Lorraine moved to the Minneapolis area working at a bank. On November 18, 1956, Lorraine married Donald Petersen. They moved back to the Askov area where they made their home, living in the same house for 60 years, until Lorraine needed to move into Golden Horizons. Throughout her life Lorraine was always a member of the church and enjoyed singing in the church choir and when she moved back to Askov, she attended bible study groups with her friends. Other hobbies that brought joy to Lorraine were gardening, reading, listening to music, her dogs (now Sadie), drives to Duluth and being close to Lake Superior. Friends were a big part of Lorraine's life and she always loved to attend and host garden parties and tea parties too.

Lorraine is preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Lydia; her brothers, Leonard  (sister-in-law Joyce Lund) and Leslie; and her son, David.

Lorraine is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Donald; her son, Michael Petersen of Askov, MN; her daughter, Lisa (Bob) Wright of Savage, MN; grandchildren, Cody Petersen, Sarah and Caleb Anderson, and Rachel Wright.

The family of Lorraine would like to thank the staff at Sandstone Care Center, Sandstone Golden Horizons, and Ecumen Hospice.
