Mildred Lorraine Kroker (nee Knopf)
September 22, 1932 ~ October 3, 2015
Peacefully on October 3, 2015, at the age of 83 Lorraine succumbed to her battle with cancer.
Lorraine was predeceased by her loving husband, Milton in 1993, her parents Theodore and Martha Knopf, an infant son, brother Randy Schirle and sisters in-law Shirley Knopf and Mary Knopf.
She will be lovingly remembered by her children Wayne (Joyce), Sandra (Herbert), Marlene, Don (Brenda), Ken (Lisa), Val (Wes) and Cheryl (Dean); her grandchildren Raquel (Doyle), Claire (Rick), Susan (Colin), Jennifer (Karl), Justin, Kent (Kaci), Brett (Brittany), Holly, Devan, Tasha (Brendan), Riley. Also eight great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
Mom is survived by her brothers Harvey Knopf and Edward Knopf and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mom grew up in Oldenberg where she lived on a farm with her parents until she met Milton, the love of her life. They were married in 1949 and started their home on dad’s family farm in River Hills where they raised their 7 children. Family was everything to mom, in particular her grandchildren. She will be missed by all of us.
A special thank you to Dr. Bruneau and staff at Pinawa Hospital, as well as the staff at the Ironwood for all of their care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers, donations made be made to CancerCare Pinawa, Box 220, Pinawa, Manitoba R0E 1L0.

Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear loved one . Are we not truly blessed with the hope our Creator has given us of seeing our loved ones again. His loving comfort from the scriptures brings us much relief and confidence in the blessings of Jehovah’s Kingdom. Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” John 5:28,29 “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out” Isaiah 35:5,6 “At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened, And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. At that time the lame will leap like the deer, And the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy.”
