Lillian Annie Lorfeld

Lillian Annie Lorfeld, 93, of Sheboygan, passed away Wednesday, December 6, 2023 at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton.  Lillian was born June 16, 1930, in Cleveland, to the late Alfred and Helle (Wehrmann) Lutze. On November 20, 1948, she married Glenn Allen Lorfeld, at St. John St. Peter Lutheran Church in Cleveland. 

Lillian was employed by Piggly Wiggly for over 25 years. In her retirement, she volunteered at Bethesda Thrift Store, Memorial Medical Center, and Stephanie Weil Center.  Lillian loved to embroider, and would create beautiful clothing, Christmas ornaments, dish towels, easter eggs, and paper baskets.  She had a remarkable talent for baking.  Her son fondly remembers learning to make her legendary pancakes at an early age.  Her daughter still uses her special recipes for Christmas cut-out cookies.  She also made donuts, and countless other recipes that her family will continue to cherish in her memory. Glenn and Lil always had animals throughout their marriage, but Lil had a special place for chihuahua’s and cats.

Lillian is survived by one son, Randal (Julie) Lorfeld; one daughter, Lisa (Phil) Cosson; eleven grandchildren; four great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Glenn, one daughter, Debora Richards, one grandchild, Jeremiah, two brothers Emil and Ray, and many brothers and sisters-in-law.

A memorial service for Lillian will be held on Friday, December 22, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. at Zimmer Westview Funeral and Cremation Care Center (Hwy 42 & JJ) with the Rev. Jeremy Hanson officiating.  Friends may call on Friday, December 22, 2023 from 3 :00 p.m. until the time of service at the FUNERAL HOME.
