LINCOLN

  Lorraine Lynn (Bosch) Parker, 74, passed away Sunday, December 29, 2024 in Lincoln, KS. Lorraine was born August 22, 1950 to the late Leroy Bosch, Sr and Doris (Clarke-Bosch) Williams. Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents and sister Blenda Bosch. She is survived by her son Adam Robinson (wife Kathryn) of Brea, CA; brothers, Leroy, Jr (wife Mary) of Wichita, KS, Leslie (wife Kelly) of Lake City, FL, Jeffrey of Asheville, NC, and Perry of Lincoln, KS, along with a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, and many friends.

  Lorraine grew up in Lincoln and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1968. She attended Fort Hays State University before moving to Wichita. Lorraine’s travels in life and work took her to Colorado, Minnesota, California, and 32 years in Florida before returning to her roots in Lincoln in 2020. Her love of music and daily walks kept her happy and spirits high before she became impaired by declining health. She lived unapologetically on her own terms. She loved fiercely all those that were in her circle, both by blood and by choice. She struggled tirelessly to better herself and to build up and support any fellow women within her reach. She was relentlessly proud of her son Adam, as she would tell anyone that would listen and many that wouldn’t.

  Though she was married twice, it was her life-long true friend, Angie (Schroeder) Cantwell, who supported her until the end. Their friendship dating all the way back to missed curfews and getting grounded for going to dances in the late 1960’s. 

  A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at Central Christian Church, 215 N 5th St., Lincoln, KS, at 11:30 a.m., to be followed by an informal gathering at the Bosch family farm.
