With great sorrow our family announces the passing of our beloved Lorriane April Gardner, known to many online as Taily or Tailyanker. April was 54 when she passed suddenly on Sunday, February 26, 2023.
April was an RN working with medically fragile children in their homes before being forced to retire due to health issues. Her kind and generous spirit found an outlet by devoting herself to crafting and sharing the results with family, friends and charitable causes. She was always willing to lend an ear, a hand, or just a kind word to anyone who needed it and will be sorely missed.
She is survived by her husband Glenn of 21 years, 4 brothers, 1 sister as well as aunts, nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind her Mother-in-Law Shelly who loved her like a daughter, Her Sister-in-Law Missy, her sisters of the heart Ruth and Stacey, her 2 dogs and 3 cats as well as many dear friends that she thought of as family.
A visitation for Lorriane will be held Thursday, March 2, 2023 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Virgil T. Golden Funeral Service, 605 Commercial St. SE, Salem, Oregon 97301.
