Eunice Lorraine (Bruns) Iverson was born to Maud and Heiko Bruns on Aug. 7, 1923, in Porter. She attended elementary school in Porter and high school in Canby, where she graduated in 1940. She worked various jobs until she married Harvey Iverson, from Storden, on Oct. 25, 1943, in Del Ray Beach, Fla. When Harvey returned from overseas, they settled in Fairmont. Then they moved to Storden where they built their own home. Lorraine lived in Storden for 59 years before moving in to Mikkelson Manor, Windom, in April 2006. She later moved to Good Samaritan Society in Albert Lea in June 2009 where she passed away on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, at the age of 88.
