Lorraine Raczkiewicz Married John Dykstra February 22 1941
Lorraine Raczkiewicz (my aunt) married John Dykstra.
“When John was 18, he married his sweetheart, Lorraine Raczkiewicz, on February 22, 1941 at St. Aldabert’s in Grand Rapids. The newlyweds settled into an apartment by St. James Church and John later went into the family meat business, Dykstra Beef Co., where he became part owner along with his brothers Bob and Sib. John and Lorraine were later blessed with the birth of their only child, Sandra Ann born in 1943.”
