Lorin Henry Dettmann
Lorin Henry Dettmann, 87, Monona, Iowa, died suddenly on Friday, September 13, 2013.
Lorin was born on April 11, 1926, on the Dettmann Family Farm, south of Monona, Iowa, to John and Anna (Borcherding) Dettmann. He attended Pleasant Hill Country School through the 8th grade and graduated from Monona High School with the class of 1945.

Lorin was united in marriage to Phyllis Lamker on August 20, 1953, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Monona, Iowa. Five children were born to this union. Lorin and Phyllis farmed together and raised their family on the family farm where Lorin lived his entire life.

He was a life-long member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Monona where he served on the church council, was elected President of the congregation and later in life was the head usher for funerals held at the church. He was a long time New York Yankees fan and enjoyed the outdoors, spending many hours tending his “award winning” rhubarb, potatoes, and squash.
