Loraine Rose Knopf
1921-2010
Loraine Rose Hohnstein was born to Conrad Hohnstein and Armina Carriker, December 19, 1921, in Harvard, Nebraska. She attended Elliot Elementary School, Whittier Junior High and graduated from Lincoln High in 1939. She attended Nebraska University until World War II broke out. Loraine worked for Cushman Motor Works, inspecting firing pins for bomb shells during the War period.
She met Milton at the First Baptist Church in Lincoln. They were married October 7, 1943, at the Second Baptist Church in Lincoln, and they were married 65 years.
Their first child, Judy, was born right after his discharge from the Air Force (1945).
Milton & Loraine moved to Oklahoma after the war so he could return to his old job at the power plant. Not liking Oklahoma, they moved to Denver.
Three years later they bought a farm near Fort Collins. Their son, Dennis, was born when they lived here (1950). A hail storm wiped them out and they moved to Lincoln, where they lived with Loraine's parents. They stayed a year or so before moving back to Wheat Ridge, colorado, in 1955.
Loraine worked for Mode-O-Day in downtown Denver, then for Miller Stockman in Westminster.
In 1964, they bought a farm east of Aurora, 3 miles south of Bennett, Colorado. Driving to work from their farm in Bennett became quite a task so she began teaching 4th grade at Bennett grade school. They stayed on the farm for 20 years. They retired in 1983 and moved to Lakewood.
Loraine was active in Berkeley Baptist Church for many years. She directed two children's choirs, sang in the choir herself and was a deacon in the church at this time.
She became a member of the Alameda Baptist Church in 2008, when she was living at Eaton Terrace.
Some of her hobbies were stereo photography, art, crafts, fishing, camping, and traveling.
Loraine passed away September 6, 2010, and leaves her daughter Judy (Dave), her son Dennis (Gloria) and her granddaughter, Jennifer.
