In Loving Memory Of
Lorraine Theresa Pollreis

Footprints in the SandOne night I dreamed I was walking along the beach
with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across
the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other
times there was one set of footprints. This bothered
me because I noticed that during the low periods of
my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or
defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said
to the Lord: “You promised me Lord, that if I followed
you, you would walk with me always. But I have
noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there
for me?” The Lord replied: “The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you.”

Lorraine, the second oldest in a family of five, was born on July 8, 1927, to Clemence and Cecilia (nee Hammerer) Jurgens at home on the family farm in the Fulda/Carmel district. She was raised there, and attended Keller School. After completing her formal education, Lorraine was employed as a domestic assistant for families in the neighborhood. On April 24, 1945, she married Melvin Pollreis. They began their life together in the Annaheim district where they farmed and raised a family of three, two daughters and a son. In 1986, Lorraine and Melvin built their retirement home in Humboldt. Throughout the years, Lorraine enjoyed gardening, planting vegetables for the fresh produce she would harvest, and flowers for the beauty they added to the yard. She was a fabulous cook and baker and was known for the delicious angel food cakes she made for her children’s birthdays, which they would share with their friends at school. Lorraine was an avid fan of the Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs, and loved watching their games on television. Other favorite pastimes including bowling, fishing, doing puzzles, playing cards, and socializing. As well, Lorraine loved going on bus tours, visiting various casinos, polka fest dancing, and spending the winter months in the Okanagan Valley with Melvin. A very family-oriented lady, her greatest pleasure was derived from spending time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
Lorraine will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her three children: SHARON (Fred) Saliken of Humboldt, SK; CONNIE (John) Fugger of Saskatoon, SK; and MURRAY (Blythe) Pollreis of Delta, BC; five grandchildren: Shelley (Barry), Danny (Treena), Lori (Darren), Jenny (Craig), and Nancy; 12 great-grandchildren: Cassie, Devon, Braeden, Chanae, Mikenzie, Dawson, Evan, Delaney, Nathan (Joelle), Morgan, Bryden, and Addison; three great-great-grandchildren: Ashton, Kynzlee, and Ella; her half-sister, Carol Hickman; and by numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Melvin Pollreis (February 20, 2009); parents, Clemence and Cecilia (nee Hammerer) Jurgens; and by all her siblings.
