Lorinda was born June 5, 1956 at Allen County Hospital in Iola, Kansas to Arnold and Leona (Lehman) Gleue.
She graduated from LeRoy High School and attended Allen County Community College. She married her high school sweetheart, John, on June 15, 1975. She and John had one son, Christopher. Lorinda followed John as he transferred with his career to many towns in Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa. She worked in the financial services industry and held jobs as a teller, Human Resources representative, business administration, audit, and most recently, Project Management. When they moved to Des Moines in 1984 she worked at Norwest Bank, which was later purchased by Wells Fargo.
In May of 2001, John and Lorinda purchased a NAPA store in Adel, where Lorinda worked in her spare time. Lorinda served her community volunteering at Grandview Little League, Hope Lutheran Church, Salvation Army basketball and many events in the Adel community. In 2003, they built their dream home near Dallas Center, featuring large windows that gave Lorinda views of her beautiful flower gardens and colorful birds she loved to watch. In 2009, Lorinda earned her bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. In October 2019, she celebrated 35 years of service with Wells Fargo.
Lorinda lived her life full of faith, love and commitment to family, which she cherished so much. She enjoyed traveling the country and two different trips to Rivera Maya, Mexico, which was her favorite destination.
