LOROFF: Mary Margaret (Suek)

February 16, 1924 – November 18, 2015

The death of Mrs. Mary Margaret (nee Warren) Loroff of Caleb Village, Humboldt, SK, occurred on Wednesday, November 18, 2015, at Humboldt District Hospital. Mary was born to Arthur and Barbara (nee Poth) Warren on February 16, 1924, in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Humboldt. She was raised on the family farm southwest of Humboldt. The family were members of Conception Church. Mary attended Hillsley Country School and, eventually, attained her Grade 12 equivalency through G.E.D. In July of 1940, she entered the workforce, initially at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for two years and was then employed at a few private homes. In 1943, Mary married Edward Suek. Nine children were born to them; however, three died very young. Mary took some upgrading courses and in 1965 went back to work at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. For 10 years, she worked night shifts on the Pediatric Ward and then managed Central Supply. In 1980, Mary and Frank Loroff were married. Mary retired in 1984. In their retirement years, she and Frank loved spending time with their grandchildren and, especially, at their cabin at Kipabiskau. They also enjoyed travelling to many places, taking bus tours and casino trips, and going on cruises. As well, Mary derived great pleasure from her home and the outdoors, and spent many pleasurable hours working in her yard and the large garden she planted and harvested every year. During the last few years, she loved socializing and playing cards with her friends at Caleb. Mary will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by six children, 13 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren: ROBERT (Linda) Suek and family, Janet Suek (Andre Blackrose), and Frank Suek (Nicole Stushnoff) [Eden Armstrong and Evan Suek]; FAITH “Faye” (Stefan) Laskowski and family, Lisa Laskowski (Jeffrey McLaughlin) [Rachel and Hanna McLaughlin], Laura (Todd) Engele [Victoria, Nicholas, Steven and Julia Engele], and Robin (Charlene) Laskowski [Elyse and Jacob Laskowski]; SYLVIA (Peter) Sawicki and family, Renée Vos [Carlynn (Levi) Goodwin - children Lucas and Lainey Goodwin, and Jamie Vos], Shonna (Neil) Mitchell [Jordan and Ryan Mitchell]; GLENN (Mary Anne) Suek and family, Warren Suek (Tisha Heffernan) [Autumn, Griffin and Harrison Suek], Andrea (Brett) Austin [Kaden, Livia, Kinley, Logan and Vasyn Austin], and Aaron (Kathleen) Suek [Parker and Dylan Suek]; DEBRA (Stanley) Stevens and family, Amanda (Jaret) Stevens, and Bobby Stevens (Erica Seed); and JOANNE (James) Travis and family, Tyler Travis (Crystal Fenwick) [Brooklynn Vavra]; two brothers and four sisters: George Warren, Theresa Mons, Anna Zilkowsky, Walter “Simon” (Marilyn) Warren, Myrna (Mark) Sieben, and Carol Sawicki; sister-in-law: Clara Warren; and by numerous nieces and nephews.
