Lorraine C. Quayle
January 11, 1935 – May 16, 2014Lorraine Christine Quayle, 79, of Forest City, passed away at her home on Friday, May 16, 2014, after a five year battle with cancer.
The youngest of the six children, Lorraine was born on January 11, 1935, to Peter and Ethel (Erickson) Juhl on a farm near Miller. After graduating from Forest City High School 1953, she continued her education in Minneapolis, completing a program to become an lab/x-ray technician.
She married Robert “Bob” Quayle on July 24, 1955, after he completed his military service in Germany. They raised four children, Dick, Carmen, Beth, and Annette, on their dairy farm south of Forest City. Lorraine helped with many of the daily chores on the farm, yet she always made time for people. She was a shining example of one who cheerfully put others ahead of herself.
She had a beautiful, well lived life and leaves behind a legacy of faith and love. Above all, she valued her family and friends. At a young age, she came to trust in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and lived out her faith in a way that blessed others. She grew up attending Faith Lutheran Church in Miller and as an adult became a member of First Baptist Church in Forest City. She enjoyed experiencing nature first hand, going on picnics, square dancing in her younger years, participating in the Christian Women’s Group and the BCNU club for over fifty years, playing cards, and using her creative talents. Her grandchildren cherish the time she took to read books to them as well as play games and do crafts with them.
Lorraine is survived by her husband of fifty-eight years, Bob, and their four children: Richard “Dick” Quayle, Carmen (Darrell) Steele, and Beth (Burge) Hammond, all of Washington, Iowa, and Annette Abel, of St. Paul, Minnesota; fifteen grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. Those living in St. Paul include Megan (Michael) Slate with their children, Gracie and Samuel; and Chelsea, Carlie, and Chloe Abel. Living in Forest City are Kit (Val), Jesse, Levi, and Isaiah Quayle. Living in Kalona are Amy (Jerad) Ropp, with their children, Braxton, Bria, and Cameron. In Washington, Iowa, are Jenna (Andrew) Schneider, and their son, Mason; Ryan Steele; Breann Osborn and her son, Colton; and Britni, Brooke, and Braden Hammond. Lorraine has one surviving sister, Fern (Hubert) Branstad, of St. James, Minnesota.
Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents; an infant son, James Mason Quayle; three brothers, Larry, Ralph, and Harald Juhl; one sister, Anna Mae Beers.
The family would like memorial donations to go to Hospice of Northern Iowa which helped Lorraine immensely during her final weeks of life. Or consider honoring Lorraine’s memory by deciding each day to make a positive impact in someone’s life because you took time to show you care.
In lieu of a funeral service, a celebration of life gathering will be held at the shelter house in Pilot Knob State Park on Sunday, May 18, 2014, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. For the family, a private burial of cremated remains will take place at a later date.
