Lorraine’s Obituary
Lorraine Katherine Probert, aged 72 years, passed away peacefully on June 9th, 2021. Lorraine loved animals and spent her life helping people as much as possible. For many years Lorraine looked after her three brothers, Don, Allan and Ken and she was very grateful for the care of Don and Allan subsequently provided by Larlene Sangster for over 30 years. Lorraine went on to pursue more education, becoming a home care provider to mentally and physically challenged, geriatric and palliative clients until her own health gave out. She fought different types of cancer over the years, but this fifth battle with multiple cancers was her last, by choice. Lorraine enjoyed many hobbies: painting on stone, wood, and other materials; sewing many items that she donated to various friends and charities; and gardening. Over the last few years, she could be found in Crescent Park, beautifying the roses, and meeting up with old friends while making new ones. She often brought a library book and a bag lunch to further enjoy the park. Many thanks to Della Ferguson and MY WISH, Angie and Chantel from EMS, Lori and Steve from the Public Library, City of MJ Parks and Recreation Dept., Nelson, Diane, and Vicki for that special day in Crescent Park and the dedication of the yellow rose bush. Lorraine’s friends will be able to visit the rose gardens and remember Lorraine and her generosity. Sincere gratitude to: Dr. Marx, Dr. Hetherington, and the Home Care personnel, especially Pat; the nurses on the third-floor surgical unit; EMS personnel; the hard-working and always available nurses and staff at Pioneers Lodge and the Heartland Hospice; Carol of MJNPHA, for her kindness; and Nelson and Wanda Reid and Vicki Wadsworth for being there. Lorraine truly appreciated the efforts of everyone who helped her during this difficult time. Lorraine showed true courage and grace to the end, and she will be greatly missed by her many friends. There will be no funeral. Lorraine wished for memorial donations to be directed to the Heartland Hospice, Box 334, Moose Jaw, SK, S6H 4N9, or at www.heartlandhospicemj.ca. In living memory of Lorraine, a memorial planting will be made by Jones-Parkview Funeral Services.
