Lorna (Nuechterlein) Reinbold

Lorna Ursula Maria (Nuechterlein) Reinbold, 102, of Saginaw, was called Home Wednesday, April 22, 2020, after a long and fulfilling life. Lorna was born March 16, 1918, in Frankenmuth, MI, to Stephen and Lydia Nuechterlein. Lorna worked as a teenager at Zehnder’s Restaurant in Frankenmuth before marrying Alvin “Pete” Reinbold on March 6, 1943. She volunteered at the Red Cross, enjoyed golf and choir at the Germania Club in Saginaw, cooked at many fish fries at Redeemer Lutheran Church, sang in the choir, and was a member of their Dorcas Club and LWML. She served on the Auxiliary Board of the Lutheran Homes of Michigan. She also enjoyed traveling. She enjoyed annual vacations with her sister Marian’s family, many holidays spent together with them, and was a special part of their lives. Lorna led a small family crew that cooked for the opening of deer season at Mid-Forest Lodge near Houghton Lake for nephew Ron Nuechterlein for many years. She was also an avid Detroit Tigers fan. She was a long-time member of Redeemer Lutheran Church and Messiah Lutheran Church in Saginaw. Lorna was a good cook, loved to sing and play the piano, and had a great sense of humor. She and Pete loved a good laugh, a practical joke, and the laughter and good times with family and friends. She had a very generous and fun-loving spirit. She was preceded in death by her husband Alvin Reinbold, brothers and sisters-in-law Richard and Agnes Nuechterlein, Edwin and Frances Nuechterlein, and Oswald and Olga Nuechterlein, and sister and brother-in-law Marian and Arthur Schuknecht. She is survived by many nieces and nephews. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a memorial service and celebration of life will take place at a future date. Those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider Messiah Lutheran Church of Saginaw, Michigan; Wellspring Lutheran Services, or the Lutheran Hour. Sincere gratitude goes to nephew Alan Nuechterlein, niece Pauline Johnson and great-niece Nicole Crook for their long-time care and compassion, and to Duane Wilson who drove Lorna to church and many other activities. Memories and sympathies of Lorna may be shared with the family on her memorial website at WakemanFuneralHome.com
