Lorine Cydell (Boettcher) Jatzlau was born on June 1, 1932, to Walter and Ella (Symmank) Boettcher in Lincoln Texas. She was baptized on June 19, 1932 at Trinity Lutheran, Fedor, Texas, by Reverend A. Michalk. She was raised in the church, confessed her faith and confirmed on July 29, 1945, at St. James Lutheran Church in Lexington, Texas, by Pastor H. F. Hellmen. Her confirmation verse was John 5:24: “Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” She was faithfully committed to her Lord and His Word and proudly served on many church service activities. Lorine worked at Droemer’s and Invader Boats in Giddings, worked in the Lexington I.S.D. school cafeteria and was a school bus driver for Lexington. On September 2, 1951, Lorine was united in Holy Matrimony to Herman Jatzlau at St. James Lutheran Church in Lexington by Rev. Karcher. Their marriage was blessed with seven children: Sandra, Michael, Jeffery, Debra, Jimmie Dale, Lynetta, and Patrick. Lorine was a very devoted wife and mother. Lorine is remembered for her enormous passion and strength both spiritually and physically. The children remember her as an awesome cook who loved working in her garden and flower beds. She was a master at catching fish (somehow knew just where to place the hook) and often cleaned her catch between bus routes. She was the best cowgirl, named every one of their cows, knew how to manage and take care of them. Her grandchildren remember her teaching them to play 42 and straight dominos. They enjoyed staying with her to attend VBS. She was a good listener and always used the phrases, awe heck and fiddlesticks. Lorine was called to be with her Savior the early morning of May 6, 2020 at her home in Lexington. She was 87 years, 11 months, and 5 days.
