Lorraine Lindberg, age 85, passed away peacefully on Jan. 23, 2026, surrounded by her sons and daughters-in-law. She was born on June 6, 1940, in St. Mathias, Minn. She was one of seven children born to Olivia and Herman Koering. Lorraine was called home to be reunited with her husband, Jim Lindberg; her parents; and brother, Leo, who died as an infant.

She lived a life rooted in faith, family and routine. Lorraine met Jim in Aitkin, Minn., and they were married one year later at St. Mathias Catholic Church, officiated by Lorraine's uncle, Reverend Joseph Kiffemeyer. Together they raised four sons: Michael, Thomas (Wendy), Richard (Julie) and Joseph (Angie), all of Anchorage, Alaska. Lorraine and Jim shared 61 years of wedded bliss. Jim died four years ago. Lorraine looks forward to seeing him again.

For 17 years, Lorraine worked in the Food Service Department for the Anchorage School District. After raising her family and later retiring, Lorraine and Jim traveled throughout the United States in their motorhome and enjoyed 20 winters in Mission, Texas.

Lorraine enjoyed puzzles, square dancing, playing bridge and attending church services.

Lorraine is survived by her four sons; grandchildren, Kyle, Kelsey, Brady, Riley and Reagan Lindberg; brothers, Clarence (Betsy), Leonard (Carlene) and Henry (Judy); sisters, Loura (Jim) and Marilyn (Denny); and also extended family members including many great nieces and nephews.

Love and respect to nurses, doctors, caregivers, clergy and friends. To know her was to love her. Christ's love and peace prevails.

You are invited to a Mass at Holy Family Cathedral on 5th Avenue, in Anchorage, on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026, at 1 p.m. A Rosary will be held before the Mass, and a celebration of life will follow the Mass in the Parish Hall.
