Lorraine C. Plunkett, 98, died peacefully on Thursday June 21, 2018, surrounded by her loving daughter, Debbie, and her caregivers, Julie and Kathy.

Lorraine Catherine Lampert Plunkett was born on Nov. 21, 1919, in Iowa Falls, Iowa, to Jacob and Nina (Cowan) Lampert. Lorraine was their only child. Her mother died when she was four years old. Jacob and Lorraine then moved to the Twin Cities, where her father established Lampert Lumber Company in 1927 and remarried.

She lived there until graduating from The Visitation High School, an all-girl school. She then enrolled at Bart College in Chicago, Illinois. It was there she met the love of her life, Hugh Plunkett Jr. They were married in the Twin Cities in 1942.

They moved to Austin, Minnesota, where Hugh practiced law with his father and brothers at Plunkett Law firm. Lorraine was a stay at home mom who took pride in having three children.

She was a member of Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Austin. She was fun loving and always willing to help. She will be missed.

Lorraine is survived by her son, John Plunkett, San Diego, California; daughter, Debra (Debbie) Plunkett, Austin; daughter-in-law, Mary Plunkett, Scottsdale, Arizona; and two great-grandchildren, Nina and Margot, Scottsdale.

Lorraine was preceded in death by her husband, Hugh Jr., in 1987; her oldest son, Hugh III, in 2007; grandson, Sean, in 2009; granddaughter, Tara, in 2010; and half-sister, Maureen Marcoe.
