Obituary

Lorraine Marion Dallman, 91, Hatley, entered heaven on January 13, 2021 at Care Partner in Weston. She was born on October 17, 1929 to Alois and Josephine (Sowinski) Check in Wausau, WI. On February 4, 1950, she married Bernard Dallman at St. Michael's Church in Wausau.  Lorraine graduated Wausau High School early and had a job at the phone company. After getting married, the city girl moved out to the dairy farm on Hwy J in Town of Reid and became a county girl! She didn't get her driver's license, so the phone was her way of staying in touch with her sisters, many times per day. She moved into the Dallman family farmhouse with in-laws William and Johanna and brother-in-law, Florian and adapted well. She was known as an excellent baker (peanut bars, cow pies, Rice Krispies) and cook (pierogis, chicken dumpling soup, ground bologna sandwiches and Saturday Chili). She was a "Plant Manager" – tended to her acre garden that she harvested and even canned veggies before giving to others. She "picked pickles" and sold to the factory. She also has a green thumb with indoor plants, keeping a Christmas Cactus alive for over 60 years! Mom helped milk cows, feed calves & cats, washed the bulk tank, picked up fresh eggs daily, rode her bike to neighbors to help them and deliver goodies, visited shut-ins and those that were ill with flowers or soup, and was daycare for some grandchildren. Painting dishtowels and pillowcases, crocheting, de quilling her chicken feathers to make down pillows, and patching farm clothes showed her crafty side. Bingo, playing cards and search-a-word puzzles, letter writing were her favorite past times. Her legacy is that she was a sweet and gentle great role model, down-to-earth and always gave others whatever she had.  One of the most devote Catholics around, Lorraine was a St. Michael's Grade School graduate, and attended mass every single Sunday (or watched on tv). She was an officer & member of the St. Ladislaus Rosary Society and was honored with a 50-year Society Pin and gold rosary in 2009. She prayed the rosary with the group, contributed baked goods & her time at fundraisers (especially the ponczka sale) and donated organic eggs from her brood of chickens for the church picnic meals. Some of her recipes can be found in the (1968-1982) Rosary Society Cookbook.  Survivors include five children Jerry, Dale, Sharon, Tom (Tammy), Hatley, Janice, Gurnee, IL, Grandchildren: Andy (Rocio )Dallman - Anna, Mason, Wausau; Tracy (Edgar)Arreola - Cash, Sylas, El Paso, TX; Amy Kline – Micaila, Wadsworth, IL; Christopher Kline, Hatley, Zachary (Lila) Zblewski, McHenry, IL, Stephanie (Brendan) Zblewski, Mokena, IL, and Nick Zblewski, Gurnee, IL; sisters Florence Wesenick, Schofield and Joan (Gary) Radtke, DePere. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by infant son Bruce James, husband Bernard, son-in-law Mark Zblewski, and sister Cecila Jean Marten). Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 21, 2021at St. Ladislaus Church, Hatley, Wi from Noon until the time of Mass at 1:00 p.m. officiated by father Thomas Nirappel. Lorriaine will be laid to rest in the church cemetery.
