Lorna Jean Rademacher, 82, of Shoreview, Minnesota. Passed away peacefully on December 29, 2016 in North Oaks, Minnesota following a courageous fight against cancer and congestive heart failure. Lorna grew up in Brooten Minnesota, which she loved dearly. Her childhood was filled with close relationship and endless memories with her cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. These relationships continued into her adulthood even as people moved across the country. Lorna went on to graduate from St. Cloud State University with a teaching degree and later completed her Masters in Education. Dick and Lorna moved to Shoreview, MN in 1960's and began their careers in the Mounds View School District. Lorna taught at the elementary schools with much of her time spent at Snail Lake Elementary. She had a passion for music, performing with a singing group called the 'Notables' as well as performing countless solos at weddings and funerals. After retiring from teaching in the mid 1990's she began a second career working at Marshall Fields/Macy's Rosedale in which she was quickly one of the best sales people in the store largely due to her own passion for shopping and her love of interacting with people. Lorna and Dick have always cherished the wonderful relationships with their Shoreview community of friends and neighbors. Lorna enjoyed traveling with family and close friends to many places including Norway, Europe, the Caribbean, Central America, Hawaii and Alaska just to mention a few. Her and Richard loved seeing and learning about new places and their heritage. Over the years they spent winter months in Arizona and Las Vegas and the summers and fall at their home in Shoreview. Lorna's life was centered around love for her family. Nothing made Lorna happier than spending time with her kids and grandchildren. She was an amazingly loving mother and grandmother.
