WOHLBERG: My name is Melanie and Laurine was my grandmother. It is an honour to write this in memory of her life. Laurine Wohlberg was born March 20, 1936 to Robert Arthur and Mary Poore in Rabbit Lake, Saskatchewan. Her family, including her brothers Glenn and Tony, and sister Marion, grew up on a farm near Belbutte, Saskatchewan. Laurine spent most of her childhood enjoying the outdoors, riding horses and helping out with the farming. In 1957 Laurine married Harry Wohlberg. Together they raised five children, Delbert, Gisele, Bonnie, Faron and Trevor on Mohler's farm near Maymont, SK. Laurine stayed busy with her children, tending a big garden and staying active in the church. She made sure to include some fun in life by taking the family camping, fishing and tavelling to visit family. In 1971 the family moved into Maymont and Laurine worked various jobs including, a concession at Glenburn Park and a meals on wheels program in town. In 2001 Laurine moved from Maymont to the Tower in North Battleford. Even though she had slowed down a lot she still played cards, shuffleboard and continued travelling as much as she could with her children. Laurine passed away on June 14, 2014. A prayer service was held for her at St. Joseph Calasanctius Roman Catholic Church at 7:00 pm on June17, 2014 with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 10:30 am on June 18, 2014. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Sallows & McDonald - Wilson & Zehner Funeral Home. All of her life Laurine faithfully attended mass and kept up with her daily prayers. We will miss this strong, brave,and loving woman dearly.
