Lorraine D. (Letson) Nehring, age 93, of Whitehall, passed away peacefully in the presence of family in the Gundersen Tri-County Care Center on September 24, 2022.

Lorraine was born August 19, 1929 in Taylor to Harold and Agnes (Nordahl) Letson. She was raised in rural Taylor and graduated from Taylor High School in 1947.  She was employed by Jackson County Bank until her marriage to Robert Nehring on November 5, 1953.  They moved to their farm west of Blair and raised five children.  She served as the clerk for the Town of Preston for 10 years.  Later in life, Lorraine returned to work at the Union Bank of Blair until her retirement in 1994.  In retirement, Lorraine was the site coordinator for the Senior Meal program for several years.

Through the years, Lorraine loved being a homemaker and was actively involved at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in Whitehall. She always enjoyed baking, was an avid seamstress, loved hand crafts, gardening, playing games, but most importantly spending time with family.  She loved hosting family gatherings and loved her time with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her five children, David (Pam) Nehring, Joanne (Rick) Laabs, Gail (Steve) Radtke, Bobbi (Joe) Palecek, Linda (Jay) Vehrenkamp; ten grandchildren, Liza (Kurt) Mathson, Josh (Haley) Nehring, Kelly, Daniel and Mitchel Laabs, Nate (Jaime) Radtke, Ben (Lauren) Radtke, Leah Vehrenkamp, Katie (Dalton) Sogla, and Abby Vehrenkamp and great-grandchildren, Isaiah, Erik, Emma, Rhett, Emerson.

In addition to her parents and her husband Robert of 44 years, she was preceded in death by her sister Nona.
