Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of Romayne's passing. She was such a lovely lady. Her smile lit up any room she entered. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Bill and family. You’re in my thoughts and prayers today as you say goodbye bye bye to a wonderful and caring lady. She will be greatly loved missed ❤

Romayne meant so, so much to my mom, Elaine. Yes, a sister, but more a best friend. As they grew older, they became closer and closer, and that is so special indeed. My mom always cherished their nightly calls. Thank you, Romayne. I will always remember Aunt "Punky" for her sheer optimism, humor and love. Fortunately, we were able to chat just a few weeks ago, and I will always remember that conversation. Anitra, Jory, Marnee and I will indeed miss you, Aunt Romayne.

Romayne was always so welcoming to us. She’d ask questions to get to know us and build a deeper relationship as opposed to just chit chat on our couple times a year encounters. And the love she had towards her boys, Bill, grandkids and Carol was so evident.

Oh, Romayne. What a wonderful person with that infectious smile. Even though we haven't seen you for awhile I still remember our great walks on VanBuskirk and of coarse the Anise Candy making for the hockey boys fundraiser.
Our deepest sympathy to Bill, Todd, and Thane and their beautiful families.

Bill and family, We’re so sorry for your loss of Romayne. She was such a friendly and caring lady. She will be missed by everyone. Prayers and caring!

What an amazing person Romayne was and she will always be a treasured memory. We had so many fun times together with our families. She always remembered everybody's birthday and treasured the birthday cards that she received on her birthday! I will miss her terribly because she has been part of my life for 60 yests and give our love to all of our families there. Love you much

Hi Grandma,
Not only were you an amazing grandmother to me but also a best friend. I will forever cherish our phone calls filled with laughter and our "I love you more" battles. You never failed to make every part of my life exciting and I love how much you care for our family. I now have a beautiful angel watching over me, and you will always hold a special place in my heart. Jasmine Storck

A cousin who looked like her.

Romayne Storck, 82, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and dear friend, was called to her eternal resting place on March 15, 2026.

She was born on September 20, 1943, in Weatherford, Texas, to Albert “Dutch” and Vera Dietz.

On August 24, 1962, Romayne was united in marriage to the love of her life, William “Bill” Storck, in Britt, Iowa—a love story that began in elementary school and blossomed into a lifelong, unbreakable bond. Together, they built a life grounded in love, devotion, and an unwavering commitment to family. Their journey took them from Britt, Iowa to their college years in Iowa City, Iowa, where they welcomed their first son, Todd, in 1963. They continued their story through meaningful chapters in Faribault and Litchfield, Minnesota, where their second son, Thane, was born in 1969, and later in Ironwood, Michigan. Eventually, they made their home in Moose Lake, Minnesota, where they pursued their careers and spent their later years savoring both the quiet, tender moments and the joyful, laughter-filled times together. Through every stage of life, their love remained steadfast—a true partnership filled with devotion, joy, and enduring companionship.

Romayne is lovingly remembered by her husband, Bill; her sons, Thane Storck (Carol) and Todd Storck; her cherished grandchildren, Thane “TJ” Storck, Jasmine Storck, and Sara McCoy (Riley); and her adored great-granddaughter, Grace McCoy. She is also survived by her brother, Albert “AB” Dietz; her sister, Elaine Richardson; and many dear in-laws, nieces, and nephews, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

Family was the center of Romayne’s world. She found her greatest joy in the time she spent with those she loved, especially her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-granddaughter. Her love was constant, generous, and deeply felt by all who knew her.

Romayne had a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. She found peace beneath the night sky, marveling at the stars and the moon, and took great joy in the quiet wonders of the outdoors. She also loved to travel, always eager to experience new places and create lasting memories.

Known for her kindness and compassion, Romayne had a warm and welcoming spirit that drew people to her. Her gentle nature, paired with a quick wit and wonderful sense of humor, brought comfort and laughter to many. She formed lasting friendships throughout her life and truly cared for the people around her.

Romayne gave generously of her time through volunteer work at Mercy Hospital and a local nursing home in Moose Lake, where her caring presence made a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

She found great joy in celebrating holidays and had a special gift for decorating her home, filling it with warmth, beauty, and a welcoming spirit for all who entered. A devoted fan of Elvis Presley, his music brought her lasting happiness. Romayne also cherished attending her children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events and concerts, always showing up with pride and enthusiasm. Known as the “queen of birthdays,” she delighted in celebrating not only her own special day, but also those of her family and friends, making each person feel truly seen, valued, and loved.

Romayne will be remembered for her loving heart, her unwavering devotion to family, and the kindness she extended so freely to others. Her life was a reflection of love, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

A visitation and memorial service to honor Romayne’s life will be held on March 23 at Hamlin-Hansen-Kosloski Funeral Home in Moose Lake, Minnesota. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m., followed by the memorial service at 2:00 p.m. Family, friends, and all whose lives she touched are welcome to join in remembering and celebrating her life.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
