Lorraine Gross
It is with our deepest sorrow we announce the sudden passing of our dearly beloved wife, mother, sister, and grandmother Lorraine Lucille Gross (Geres) on November 30, 2021. Lorraine was born on October 19, 1944, in the little town of Bateman, SK. Lorraine arrived two minutes ahead of her identical twin sister Lorna Louise Bishop and jokingly reminded Lorna throughout her whole life that she was the “older sister”! After graduation, Lorraine and her beloved twin Lorna set out on an adventure to Moose Jaw, SK. Lorraine went to work at Providence Hospital as a nurse’s aid and there she met the love of her life, Walter Gross. They got married at Church of Our Lady on August 5, 1967, and later had three children: Greg, Karen, and Jason. Lorraine started working at Pioneer Lodge as a special care aide, where she worked for 25 years until her retirement in 2009. Lorraine was known for her compassion for caring for the elderly and continued this work after retirement in private practice. Lorraine loved people and people loved Lorraine. She lit up every room she was in with her loving energy and beautiful smile. Lorraine kept busy from morning to night by going bowling, shopping, reading, attending bible class on Mondays, doing puzzles, going for coffee with friends and ending the evening with a nightly call at 7pm with her favourite twin, Lorna. Lorraine also loved travelling with her husband to Las Vegas, shopping in Minot and exploring Cypress Hills and southern Saskatchewan. Lorraine is predeceased by her parents Peter and Katherine Geres. Lorraine will be sadly missed by her loving husband of 54 years Walter Gross; her children Greg (Maureen), Karen and Jason; grandchildren Jordan, Shelby (Dylan), Stephan and Teanna (Bryce), Dustin (Sara), Dakota (Kristine), Brett; great grandchildren Deagan, Brett, Mannix, Zander and Zoey; sisters Gladys (Barry) Raymond, Lorna Bishop, Marge (Gene) Morin, Donna (Lloyd) Jesse; brothers Gerald (Ann) Geres, and Jim (Judy) Geres. A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, December 4, 2021 at 11:00 AM at W. J. Jones Chapel, 474 Hochelaga St W., Moose Jaw, SK. Reverend Doug Shepherd will officiate.
