Dear aunt, cousin and a wonderful friend to many.

Lorene loved doing things for others, working where she could in church. She loved to travel and most of all just be with her family whenever possible. She always sent cards and personal handwritten letters on Birthday's and Anniversaries as well as many get well and thinking of you cards.

When walking into her home you knew what was important to her by looking around. The printed scriptures, and sayings told of her faith in Jesus Christ, all the pictures of her family proudly displayed for all to see, and of course her love of humming birds. Her memory was sharp with reference to dates, times, and places of the events in her life over the past 100 years.
