Lorene loved her family and enjoyed every minute with them.

She was artistic in her own right and loved knitting, crocheting and creating various craft items. These would often become memorable gifts that she gave to family and friends.
Towards the end of her life, she really got into watching political television shows and was quite vocal about her views and opinions. She enjoyed comedies and had quite a collection of movies and albums.
