Renee Klinges Goetting hasn't added a story.
To everyone who may not yet have heard the news, our dear mother Lorraine Klinges just passed away following an sudden massive stroke. She was taken to Stormont Vail hospital and managed to hold until she received Last Rites and until all her daughters made it to be with her. Regina, Jessica, and myself were with her when she passed, but are devastated to have lost her.
Mom was an incredibly kind and caring person who devoted her life to her daughters and grand-children. Even though she was a quite and shy person, she was a loyal and generous friend who was always willing to help out someone in need. She dedicated her life to raising me and my sisters as a single stay at home mom. Once we graduated high school she went back to work and continued her life of caring for others working as a RN. In the past few years, she had been unable to work. Given that and the unexpected nature of her death, she had nothing put aside for final expenses and did not have life insurance.
Mom always wanted a simple funeral. If you asked her, she would have told you that she just wanted to be buried in a pine box in the back yard. Unfortunately that is not a very practical funeral plan and definitely not one that shows the love and respect we her daughters have for her.
In lieu of flowers, we are asking for donations to help cover some of the funeral expenses and final medical bills. We need your help. Any small gift would be incredibly helpful. For that reason, we decided to do the fundraiser on this page that doesn't charge a platform fee, so that anything you contribute will 100% go to help out. (Just a note, to ensure you aren't charged extra, on the donation page on the line that says "Your optional tip helps keep community fundraising free" select " Change Tip amount" and set it to "not this time")
If you are not able to donate monetarily, comments and messages on this page are most welcome. Thank you to all those that have already been praying for my Mom and our family. Your prayers are greatly appreciated. The rosary for my Mom will be at 5:20 pm on Monday August 12th at Assumption Chapel in St Marys. The funeral will be on Tuesday August 13th, but the time is still being finalized and I will update this page with that information when we have it.
