Lorraine Laverne Ott was born on January 6, 1919 in Milwauke, Wisconsin to 
Louis and Anna Ott, one of eleven children. She was a drum majorette at 
Winneconne High School in Winneconne, Wisconsin. While on vacation in Waikiki, 
Hawaii from Illinois, she met Adolph Lorenzetti who was on vacation from 
Bakersfield, California. They were married in Santa Barbara, California on 
June 8, 1957 and they honeymooned in Hawaii. Although Hawaii was their 
favorite place to vacation, they also enjoyed vacations in Bora Bora and Morea 
(Tahiti) and also Bandon, Oregon on the coast.

Lorraine was a very loving person and she was always ready to help others in 
need. She was a volunteer for the Kern County Welfare Department for over 
twenty years and much of her volunteer work was in convalescent hospitals. For 
her dedication to her volunteer work, she received the Volunteer of the Year 
Award at the Red Lion Inn and that award was presented by TV personality 
Burleigh Smith on KERO TV. Lorraine was a Sunday School teacher at her church, 
the Lutheran Church of Prayer. She was also an oil portrait and landscape 
painter. Among her best paintings is one of Jesus kneeling in prayer.

Lorraine passed away in her home, after a long illness, on Monday, September 
6, 2004, with her loving husband, daughter and two sons by her side. She is 
survived by her husband, Adolph; son, Larry Lorenzetti of Bakersfield; 
daughter, Diane Pevonka of DeKalb, Illinois; son and daughter-in-law, Robert 
and Pat Schoemperlen of Decatur, Illinois; 7 grandchildren and 15 great-
grandchildren.

Her husband and family would like to thank Dr. Susan Helper and Dr. William 
Nytray and their staff for their caring medical service over the years for 
Lorraine. They also would like to thank Hoffmann Hospice for their caring 
services during the past three weeks. For additional service information, 
please contact Basham Funeral Care 873-8200.
