Lorraine Jane Linbo

Lorraine J. (Kujath) Linbo was born August 31, 1929, in Rochester, Minnesota to Albert and Beatrice (Graves) Kujath. Lorraine grew up in Rochester and attended school there. Lorraine married Anton “Tony” Linbo on November 26, 1949, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Rochester, MN, and to this union, three children were born: Steven, Randy, and Valerie. Due to Tony’s work, the family moved to several different homes through the years; from Wichita, KS to Hays, KS, Farmington, MN, Omaha, NE, Huxley, IA, and back to Omaha, they made many friends. Lorraine’s main job in her life was mother to her three children, but she did work for several years as a Reservation’s trainer for Radisson Hotels. She was fortunate to be able to attend company sponsored trips to new resorts for Radisson. Lorraine loved visiting with friends and spending time with family. She cherished the trips she took with Tony and loved visiting different parts of the USA. Lorraine was proud of her church, attended regularly, and held dear all of her milestones in her church life, her baptism, confirmation and marriage. She passed her quiet time watching TV, enjoying her favorite TV show, “Jeopardy”, or sipping a cup of coffee. She looked forward to a good steak or dinner at Applebee’s and liked listening to religious music. Her pet peeve was when her own house was not spotless, but it always was. She even indulged in an occasional trip to the casino from time to time. Lorraine will be remembered as a loving mother, and as a woman who deeply loved all of her family and friends. Lorraine passed away at her home in Omaha on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at the age of 94 years, 8 months, and 16 days. She was preceded in death by her husband, Tony, and parents Albert & Beatrice Kujath. Lorraine is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law Steve & Sandra and Randy & Mary Linbo, daughter Val Hansen, 6 grandchildren: Steffany, Michelle, Kyle, Trent, John, and David, 4 great grandchildren: Logan, Charlotte, Nora, and Pete, and numerous nieces and nephews. Funeral service 11 AM Friday, 5/24 at Reichmuth Funeral Home, Elkhorn with visitation one hour prior to the service. Interment at Prospect Hill Cemetery, Elkhorn.
