She was born in Suffern, New York and grew up in Monroe, New York where she had many wonderful memories with her siblings and friends. Lorelei attended Monroe-Woodbury High School in New York. After a short period in Japan with her first husband, she returned to Cornwall, NY. It was not long thereafter she became a single parent raising 5 young children. She was an exceptionally strong and devoted mother and filled her children with memorable traditions, values, and devoted love.

In 2002, she met Paul Bartko, also a single parent, where they fell in love, becoming soul mates. In 2005, Paul and Lorelei married, and the family grew to 9. In 2011 the entire family moved, from the “Big House” in Cornwall, NY to Jupiter, Florida and eventually Palm City, Florida.
