Roberta Lorraine Schlatter was born Sept. 17, 1925, in Washington, Iowa, the daughter of Chris and Vaughn (Davis) Schlatter. On Sept. 15, 1946, Lorraine was united in marriage to Harry Dean Suter in Wayland. Lorraine was a RN and worked for the Washington County Hospital, Dr. Montgomery, Washington County Public Health Nurse and WACO Community School District nurse retiring in 1973. She was a member of the United Church of Crawfordsville and the Crawfordsville American Legion Auxiliary. Lorraine was an avid Hawkeyes/Cubs fan and enjoyed traveling with her husband, Harry to checker tournaments, cooking/baking, camping/card playing, but most of all, she loved to spend time with her family and attend her children's and grandchildren's school events.
Lorraine will be deeply missed by her two sons, Robert Michael (Barbara) Suter of Jamestown, N.Y., and Jeffrey (Sandra) Suter of Winfield; three grandchildren, Rob (Jill) Suter, Erin (Jacob) Thorius and Adam (Tara) Suter; and five great-grandchildren, Drew Suter, Laney Suter, Brodey Suter, Jordan Thorius and Jayse Thorius.
Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Harry; one son, Patrick; one brother, Joe Schlatter; and four sisters, Dorothy Enders, Christine Hegemann, Jean Hahn and Vaughn Rinner.
