Lorraine E. Klane, age 91, of Minnetonka, passed away on February 24, 2022. She lived a life of devotion to family, friends, and Jewish faith. She was the quintessential “Balaboosta” and “Gita Neshama” (Yiddish for good soul.) She was preceded in death by her generous parents, Ben and Dora Bender; dear sister, Florence Gillman; and devoted husband of 62 years, Harold. Survived by loving sons, Murray and Steve (Mimi); grandchildren, Molly (Merlin), Evan (Sonia), Arielle (Robin), Illana (David), Shira (Tom), and Josh; great grandchildren, Elinora, Griffin, Charlie, James, Lev, Eva, Tal, and Jonah; and nephews, Richard (Esther), Bob (Joanne), and Jim (Barb). Lorraine grew up in St. Paul and enjoyed a warm family life with extended family. She had a passion for cooking, baking, and mahjong.
