Lorena (Riedlinger) Comstock

PAUL - Lorena (Riedlinger) Comstock went home to be with her Savior on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2008. She was 85. Lorena was born Jan. 15, 1923, in Macintosh, S.D. She was born to John and Emma Riedlinger, the oldest child of nine children. Lorena worked as a waitress her entire life. She started waitressing in a small railroad town north of Minidoka and then worked at the Stampede in Burley. She later finished up her waitressing career by working at Connor's Cafe in Heyburn for more than 30 years. Many customers knew her as an ornery waitress always looking for a good prank to pull or for someone to pick on. At the cafe is where Lorena met her loving husband, George Comstock. They married in 1956 and resided in Burley. After George passed away, Lorena moved to Paul to be closer to family. Lorena was a charter member at First Baptist Church in Paul, where she taught Sunday school in the nursery for more than 50 years, sang in the choir and participated in the Ruth and Naomi group. She accepted Christ as a young girl and continued to serve him up to her last breath. In her spare time, Lorena enjoyed bowling, crocheting and embroidering, baby-sitting and playing games with children and putting puzzles together. She was loved by many friends and family and will be greatly missed. She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer McCarter of Texas; two brothers, Otto Riedlinger of Paul and Herbert Riedlinger of Paul; three sisters, Alvina Praegitzer of Paul, Christina Jennings of Paul and Caroline (Merl) Davis; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and three sisters, Leona Connor, Betty Jennings and Alma Requa. The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 2, at the First Baptist Church in Paul. Burial will follow at the Gem Memorial Gardens in Burley. A viewing for family and friends will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1, at Hansen Mortuary, 710 Sixth St. in Rupert, and one hour prior to the service at the church. The family would like to extend a special thank you to all the doctors, nurses and staff at Parke View Rehabilitation and Therapy for their excellent services and caring hearts. Memorials can be made to the First Baptist Church in Paul or to a charity of your choice.

goodbye and i love you, watch over us!!!
