Lorrine Frances Kenney, daughter of Frank and Elda (Camp) Proctor, was born Aug. 14, 1930, at home in Atalissa. Lorrine was the oldest of 12 children with three sisters still living: Kay, Donna and Shirlee.

She graduated from high school then attended Western Union training program. Lorrine was united in marriage to Lester “Bud” Kenney of Riverside. She was a longtime employee for Western Union and finished her career working as a medical transcriptionist for the VA Hospital in Iowa City and then at Kossuth Regional Health Center in Algona until her retirement at the age of 79.

Lorrine enjoyed......family!

Left to cherish Lorrine’s memory are her children: Kathleen (Craig Giddings) Kenney of Burt and Gerry Kenney of Riverside; six grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; sisters: Kay, Donna and Shirlee and other family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and eight siblings. Memory loss is a thief, robbing us of a vibrant, witty loved one.
