Lorna Mae Wieldraayer, age 84, longtime Oak Harbor resident, went to be with our Lord Wednesday, April 8, 2015, due to injuries sustained in a single-car automobile accident near Anacortes.

Mrs. Wieldraayer was born in Kandiyohi County, Minn., Dec. 22, 1930, to Arlo and Johanna (Hoekstra) Bauman. She moved with her family to Lynden at the age of two. Lorna attended Lynden schools, graduating from Lynden High School. She was married to Marinus Wieldraayer July 27, 1951, in Lynden. The couple moved to Oak Harbor, where they lived on the family farm and raised their six children.

Lorna was later employed as a rural carrier for the Oak Harbor Post Office for 21 years, retiring from that position in 1996. She was an active member of First Reformed Church, where she was involved in Women’s Ministries, Bible studies, choir and the annual Christmas Bazaar.

Lorna is survived by her children, Roger Wieldraayer (Carole), Richard Wieldraayer (Ling), Carol Sorg (John), Robert Wieldraayer (Anne) and Ryan Wieldraayer (Cheryl); eight grandchildren and their spouses; nine great-grandchildren; and her two sisters, Ruth Honcoop and Marlene Winkleman. She was preceded in death by her husband, Marinus “Tients” Wieldraayer, in 1983, and a brother, Arlo “Bud” Bauman. Her daughter, Gail Wieldraayer, also passed away April 8 in the same auto accident.
