SUER: Lorraine Catherine

December 13, 1933 – January 26, 2017

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Mrs. Lorraine Catherine (nee Theissing) Suer of Humboldt, SK, announces her sudden and unexpected passing on Thursday, January 26, 2017, at her residence. She was 83 years of age. Lorraine was born on December 13, 1933, to Casper and Helen (nee Niebrugge) Theissing at home on their farm in the Wilmont district.  She was raised there and attended Keller School. Lorraine met Herman Suer when she was playing softball with the local ladies’ team, which he coached. They were married on June 23, 1953, and celebrated 57 years of married life.  Lorraine worked alongside her husband on the farm until they relocated to Humboldt in 1996. Together they loved to dance, go fishing, play cards, and socialize with family and friends. Lorraine enjoyed gardening, cooking, and baking (much to the enjoyment of her friends and family). In later years, she liked going to bingo, playing cards with the ladies, and doing puzzles. Her greatest joy was visiting with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren – the busier her house was, the happier she was. Lorraine will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her children: Janet (Gil) Beck, Colleen Kurja, David (Connie) Suer, and son-in-law Doug (Diane) Willis; nine grandchildren: Jackie (Mitchell) Pituley, David (Sally) Willis, Melissa (Ryan) Fabbro, Erin (Darrick) Ellis, Ryan (Deanna) Beck, Rachelle (Brendan) Parker, Patrick Kurja, Trevor Kurja (Jessica Reid), and Matthew Kurja; 18 great-grandchildren;  brother, Wilfred (Lillian) Theissing; sisters-in-law: Rose Wyshynski, Margaret Keehborn, and Viola McKee; and by her nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Herman Suer (September 5, 2010); daughter, Karen Willis; son-in-law, John Kurja; parents, Casper and Helen (nee Niebrugge) Theissing; brother, Alvin (Doreen) Theissing; sister-in-law, Loretta (John) Manderscheid; brothers-in-law:  Bernard Wyshynski, John Keehborn, and Jim McKee. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Augustine R.C. Church, Humboldt, on Tuesday, January 31, 2017, at 10:30 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Joseph Salihu.  Interment followed at St. Augustine R.C. Cemetery. Memorial donations may be directed to either the Canadian Cancer Society or the St. Augustine Parish Centre. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral Chapel, Humboldt, SK.
