Lorraine Ruth, the daughter of Adrian and Marie (Vander Lugt) Dekkers, was born on December 21, 1938, on her family's farm near Hawarden. She was raised on the farm and attended a country school nearby through the fourth grade. She completed her primary education at the Hawarden Public School and graduated from Western Christian High School in Hull in 1957. On October 30, 1958, she married her high school sweetheart, William Groeneweg. They briefly made their home in Hawarden before moving to Hull, where they raised their family. In addition to being a stay-at-home mother, she worked part time as a certified nurse's aide at the Rock Valley and Hull nursing homes. In 1981, they opened the first Pizza Ranch in Hull, which has since expanded to over 200 stores. After more than 45 years in Hull, Mr. and Mrs. Groeneweg moved to Orange City in 2003, where Bill passed away on February 25, 2018. In earlier years, the couple were members of the First Christian Reformed Church in Hull, where Lorraine belonged to the Mission Guild and other Bible studies, and taught Friendship Bible classes. After moving to Orange City, they became members of the Calvary Christian Reformed Church, where Lorraine attended Harmony Circle. She was also active in the community, volunteering at the Bible for Missions store and with the Orange City Area Home Health and Hospice. Bill and Lorraine liked to travel and spend time at their home on East Lake Okoboji, where they enjoyed many hours of boating and skiing with their family. Spending time with her grandchildren was important to Lorraine and she showed her support by attending their various extracurricular activities and by making each of them a quilt. She prayed daily for her entire family and wanted them to continue to grow in their faith.
