Following nursing training at St. Mary&apos;s Academy, Devils Lake in 1956, Lorraine worked as a nurse&apos;s aide at Mercy Hospital, Devils  Lake. She was often commended  for her remarkable bedside manner.<br \/>\n\t  On Sept. 21, 1957, Lorraine married Glenn Olson of Oberon, N.D., at the Benson County Courthouse, Minnewaukan,  N.D. They took residence on the Olson homestead  for the next four years. In 1961, the family followed the 1960\u2019s oil boom across the Hi-Line of North Dakota and Montana, as Glenn worked the oilrigs. In 1963, they settled  in Wolf Point, where they remained for 23 years (except  for a brief residence in Kettle Falls, Wash., 1969-70). They were blessed with five children, which she raised in Wolf Point while Glenn was trucking for the Tesoro (later Kenco) refinery. In 1986, they moved to Glendive, where they remained. At various times, Lorraine worked in nursing, cosmetics sales, and commercial cleaning, while tirelessly and affectionately tending to her family.<br \/>\n\t  An avid bowler, Lorraine participated on numerous leagues in Wolf Point and Glendive for over 50 years. She loved gardening, landscaping,  playing cards, horseback  riding, tending to her menagerie of cats and horses, bird watching and entertaining  friends and family in her lovely home. She delighted in visits and laughter with loved ones near and far. She had a superb singing voice. To the end, her favorite place on earth had been her beloved  Uncle Frank&apos;s farm near Colville, Wash.<br \/>\n\t  Lorraine was passionately devoted to Jesus and found great comfort in her faith. She enjoyed discussing the Bible and current events.
