LORRAINE VAUGHAN
WAUPACA, WISCONSIN Age 93, moved on to her next great journey on Thursday, August 15, 2013 at Bethany Home in Waupaca where she resided for the last ten years. Lorraine was born December 16, 1919 in Manitowoc, WI; the daughter of William and Caroline (Stege) Schwandt. She married Lester W. Vaughan on September 23, 1939 in the Town of Royalton, WI. They shared 35 years of marriage before his passing on September 17, 1975, and Lorraine terribly missed her husband, the “love of her life”, in the years that followed. She enjoyed having her picture taken, music and polka dancing with her husband, Lester. She was a member of First Assembly of God Church in Waupaca where she was active in various groups, played the organ, and enjoyed attending church, serving the Lord, every Sunday. Lorraine was a devoted mother and grandmother to not only her own family, but to many others who also called her “Grandma Vaughan” and she opened her home to them throughout the years. She will be deeply missed by all of her loving family and many friends. Lorraine is survived by:
