Howard Carlson Arneson
Howard Carlson Arneson of Cambridge died at The Fountains at Hosanna in Lakeville, MN on October 13, 2014.
Howard was born May 12, 1916, in East Union, MN (Carver County) the son of Carl A. and Alice Carlson Arneson. He was baptized in the East Union Lutheran Church and attended the two-room school in East Union through the sixth grade. In 1927 the Arneson family moved to Pasadena, CA. Howard attended and graduated from John Marshall Junior High School in Pasadena and graduated from Cambridge High School with the class of 1933. After high school he operated the Shell Service Station in Cambridge, worked for the Gamble Store and operated the Cities Service Gas Station. He then went to Santa Monica, CA and worked as an instrument mechanic for General Aircraft Instrument Service at the Los Angeles Airport. After Pearl Harbor he enlisted in the US Navy serving in Minneapolis, Chicago and Norfolk, VA before going to the South Pacific, Admiralty Islands and Philippines where he continued doing airplane instrument repair.
In 1943 Howard married high school classmate Edith Engberg of Cambridge. They lived briefly in Minneapolis and Wadena, MN, before returning to Cambridge in 1949 where they lived, worked and raised their family.
Membership in Cambridge Lutheran Church was a focal point of his faith and activities. Singing in the choir was a joy for over fifty years. Serving on committees, boards and teaching young people were gratifying experiences enriching his life and faith. Participating in Bible studies and training as a Befriender gave him opportunities for growth. Until 2013 he had not missed the annual Lutefisk Dinner in November and took pride in making the white sauce for many years.
Howards great love for the game of golf began while caddying in California where he learned to play. In Cambridge regular league play was supplemented with extra rounds at the Purple Hawk and other area courses with Edith, Paul and friends. Junkets with his golfing buddies, and rounds of golf while traveling were his favorite way to spend a beautiful summer day. Golfing the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland was a highlight he reminisced about often.
Once situated in Cambridge Howard worked for Cambridge-Isanti School District for thirty years from which he retired. After beginning as a custodian, he rose to business manager overseeing buildings, grounds, transportation and purchasing duties. He took pride in being a part of district consolidation in the 1950s and 60s and the building expansion programs that required. Many friendships with coworkers and even students developed over the years and lasted throughout his life.
Memorial Service 11 a.m. Saturday, October 18, 2014 at Cambridge Lutheran Church. Interment at Cambridge Union Cemetery.

Lorraine B. Anderson
Lorraine Anderson, a loving wife and mother who helped improve her church and her community, died peacefully Oct. 22 with her daughters and long-time pastor at her side. She was 86.
Lorraine Soderberg was born July 25, 1928 in Springvale and attended grade school there until she moved with her family to Blomford in 1938. Sometime in 1946, Lorraine went on a double date with her friend and two young men. But it was her friends date who caught her eye. She joked that she and Orville were winking at each other from the start. She began dating Orville shortly thereafter in February 1946. They fell for each other quickly. Orville often swooped in to the Cambridge Co-Op where Lorraine worked to see her. They became inseparable, going out dancing and socializing with friends almost every night.
Orville and Lorraine married on Sept. 21, 1946 at South Isanti Baptist Church. Their love was timeless, passing milestone after milestone, including a 50th and 60th anniversary. Orville died in 2011, and even in Lorraines final days she longed to be with him once again.
Lorraine and Orville had two daughters, Pam and Teri, in 1948 and 1949, respectively. Lorraine raised them, led their 4-H group and taught them to help out on the farm while Orville worked in the fields. In the 1960s and 1970s, Lorraine worked at the American Can Co., where she met several lifelong friends.
Despite her humble upbringing, Lorraine quickly blossomed into a fantastic cook with help from Orvilles mother. Her family, especially her grandchildren, always looked forward to her mashed potatoes, which included sinful amounts of cream and butter, secret-recipe corn pudding and her desserts during holidays and family gatherings. Orville, meanwhile, frowned on any restaurant food because he knew Lorraines cooking was best. Whether it was a meal for the farmers, her family or a gather of friends, no one ever went away hungry and there were always extra meals sent home for everyone. Lorraine also helped turn their house into a picturesque example of a rural Minnesota farm home. It was the site of dozens of cozy family dinners, friendly card games and family reunions. The Minnesota Farm Bureau honored it with the Century Farm Award in 2001.
Lorraine took homemaking to higher levels, too. She designed and sewed clothing for her children and grandchildren, made her own square dancing skirts and patched up clothing for Orville and other farm hands. She was among the first members of the Border Belles homemakers, which celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2003.
Orville and Lorraine were very active at Fish Lake Lutheran Church. Lorraine was on the worship and music committee. The group would choose hymns to coincide with the sermon for that day, but she often thought the songs were too bland and long-winded, so she tried to sneak in better songs and clipped a few of the verses if they were too long. She also was in charge of the cookie jar, trying her best to supply tasty treats for the congregation without spending too much. Along with her friends, Lorraine helped create the churchs first outside polka service, which included a dinner and a quilt raffle.
Lorraine had a delicate and attentive touch with her friends and family, making sure to send birthday and holiday cards to everyone and helping out anyone who was in need. She made holidays with her family special by cooking savory meals, decorating and maintaining lively conversations. Lorraine helped make the calls to ensure Santa Claus visited on Christmas Eve. But she would smile and tell anyone to never stop believing in Santa Claus.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Florence Soderberg, and her husband, Orville.
She is survived by her daughters Pam West (North Branch) and Teri (Darrell) Wistrom (Cambridge); grandchildren Kelly West (Blackduck), David West (Isanti), Jenny (David) Tschoepe (Austin, TX), Brent Wistrom (Austin, TX) and great-granddaughters Lauren West and Peyton Tschoepe; brother Skip Soderberg (Isanti), as well as other relatives and friends.
Funeral service was 3 p.m., Saturday, October 25, 2014 at Fish Lake Lutheran Church. Interment was in Cambridge Union Cemetery. Online condolences at www.carlsonlillemoen.com. Arrangements by Carlson-Lillemoen Funeral Home and Cremation Services in Cambridge.
