Our mom Lorayn passed away Thursday, February 21, 2013, her two children holding her close.

She is survived by daughter, Becky Fink, Coon Rapids, Minn. (husband Don Sommer, son Michael), son Bill Fink, Fridley, Minn. (Jeremy Fink, Krysta Wyvell-Fink, great-grandchildren Grace and Grant Fink) and grandchildren (Billy and Holly Fink). Brother Allan Richsmann and sister Cindy Richsmann Rychner along with their own children also survive. As a family with as many extended members as those immediate, she is survived by nieces and nephews and many people near and dear.

Mom was born and raised in Osage by parents, Pappa (Roy Richsmann) who passed in 1976 and Grandma (Hilda Richsmann) in 1992. Mom moved to Minneapolis and made her home in Fridley and then Blaine, Minn.

All her life, mom made new friends and kept old friends like no other.

Mom loved a little bling. Those joining us are invited wear a little bling. Mom would just love it.
