September 2, 1915 — December 10, 2013

Lorena Emma Clara Stemmann, age 98, of Red Wing, died Tuesday, December 10, 2013, at Mayo Clinic Health Systems, Red Wing. She was born on September 2, 1915, in Goodhue Township, to William and Mary (Reese) Vieths and was baptized the same day by Pastor Naumann. She attended St. John's Parochial School in Goodhue and was confirmed on June 2, 1929, by Pastor Weindorf. She was united in marriage to Rudy Stemmann in rural Goodhue, on June 2, 1939.

Lorena was a longtime member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, where she had been active in its Ladies' Aid and had served as their pianist. She enjoyed crocheting and has crocheted hundreds of little hats for newborn babies at the Red Wing Hospital through the Ladies Auxiliary. She also enjoyed playing cards, especially 500, but most of all, she loved spending time with her grandchildren, who were her pride and joy.
