nor crying, neither shall there be

any more pain: for the former

things are passed away.

Lorraine Quie was born to Frederick and Vendla Roland at Appam, ND. She was bap zed in the Lutheran Free Church. She was later joined by her sister, Ione, and her brother, Verne. She a ended high school in Appam for two years and completed high school in Alamo. She had a passion for educa on - both for herself and to teach others. She started her teaching career at age 17 in a one-room school. She taught in various communi es across North Dakota. In the summer months she a ended classes at Minot State College eventually earning her degree in educa on. Later she a ended summer school in Greeley, Colorado where she earned her masters degree in Educa onal Administra on. She se led in Williston in 1958 and was the founding principal of both Wilkinson and McVay Elementary schools. She adored her career as a principal of both schools. She re red in 1985 a er a 40 year career in educa on.

June 18, 1966 she was joined in marriage to Lester B. Quie at First Lutheran Church. April 7 was a special day of celebra on for Lorraine and Les, as that was the day in 1973 when they opened their hearts and their home to three young children: John (age 10), Mary (age 8), and Allen (age 7). Together they forged the bonds of a family rooted in the teachings of God. We three children can never express adequately just how blessed and fortunate we were to have such sel ess and loving parents.

In August 1986, she began her second career as a nursing home administrator and held that posi on in Ha on, ND for one year and then in New Town for nine years. She taught in Mesa, AZ for one year before stepping into a permanent re rement. She felt that the young and the elderly needed the most help and she lled the two roles perfectly.

Les died on February 5, 2008. She con nued living at the Briarwood Apartments a er he died. Her children made frequent visits and she had many visitors pass through her door. When she was able she enjoyed wri ng le ers and cards and also enjoyed reading. John moved back to Williston to care for her the past few years.

Surviving her are her children: John (Williston, ND), Mary (John) Ferrell (Burnsville, MN), and Allen (Sco sdale, AZ); her sister, Ione Albertson, her sister-in-law, LaVonne Roland; nieces, Pam Albertson, Paula Jacob, and Pa Thornton and their families; nephews Doug Albertson and Calvin Thunshelle and Calvin’s son, Connor.

Gree ng her in Heaven are Les, her parents, and her brother.
