Loraine Miller was born December 22, 1929 on the family farm northeast of Halliday, the daughter of Albert and Louise (Fazer) Miller. She was baptized on February 2, 1930. At the age of 1, her family moved 3 miles north to the reservation. When she was 9, the family moved to a farm 10 miles north of Golden Valley where she was raised and educated.
Loraine was united in marriage to Albert Isaak on October 5, 1947 in Golden Valley. To this union seven children were born; Ronald, Katherine, Micheal, Jerald, Loretta, Kenneth and MaryAnn. They farmed together 5 and ½ miles northwest of Golden Valley until a tractor accident on November 5, 1963 took the lives of Albert and Kenneth. Loraine remained on the farm until she married Art Raszler on June 5, 1965 in Dodge, she then moved with 5 of her children to Dodge. Art passed away in 1967.
She owned and operated Slippery Arts Bar in Dodge along with Art. After Art passed, she managed the Dodge Café for a couple of years. She moved to Dickinson in 1974. She held numerous jobs in Dickinson namely Hardees as the biscuit baker and as a cook at the Paragon. But her proudest accomplishment was as a Sarah Coventry Sales Rep. where she earned the top sales award and a trip to St. Thomas in 1980. In her spare time she enjoyed casino trips, playing Bingo and cards (especially pinochle). She crocheted afghans for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and baby afghans for the great-great-grandchildren. In her later years, she embroidered dishtowels for all of her family as Christmas gifts. She enjoyed baking kuchen for the grandchildren’s graduations and weddings. Family was very important to her. She loved attending all the sports events that her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren participated in.
