She lived alone in Napa for forty years until a fall required her to move into an assisted living community in Sacramento, CA. She had numerous occupations over the course of her life. She worked on a cattle ranch, was a farmer, a lumberjack, a sales clerk, a realtor, a Vice President of a plastic product corporation, an electronics assembler and all that while being a great mother and Grandmother.

Lorene liked to travel and she visited several foreign countries. One of the great loves of her life was music. She wrote hundreds of songs with words and music, and what is so amazing is she could not read sheet music and she did not play any musical instrument.
