Lora Lee was born Jan. 18, 1936, in Bemidji to George and Mona (McFarland) Morain. Her family moved to St. Cloud and she graduated from St. Cloud Tech High School. She married Kevin Adelman Sept. 1, 1958. A few years later, they moved to rural Benton County and made their home there for the remainder of their days. Lee enjoyed living in the country and working in her extensive gardens. She enjoyed planning and hosting gatherings for family and friends. She had a gift for making others feel welcome. Lee was employed at Guaranty State Bank and Northwestern Bank and Trust before devoting herself to raising her family. Later in life, she worked at Julie’s Craft Corner and Cake, Candy, and Wedding Supply Company where she was able to share her love of baking, candy making and cake decorating with customers.

Survivors include her children, Tim (Connie) of Becker, Toni (Randy) Hammond and Janelle (special friend Mark) of Sauk Rapids; grandchildren, Joe, Jeremy, James, Victoria, and Chris; and 11 great-grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Kevin; granddaughter, Jessica; and daughter-in-law, Cindy.

Special thank you to the caregivers from Comfort Keepers who took such special care of her in recent years due to complications from dementia.
