A native of Jeanerette and resident of Biloxi and Ocean Springs, Mississippi for the past 16 years, Ms Meadows died on Monday, January 7, 2019 at Maison Teche Nursing Home. Lorenza was a wonderful & most loving aunt, godmother, and friend. She enjoyed cooking, baking, camping, going on trips, dancing, crocheting and knitting, and making the best fruit cake cookies ever.
Christmas was her favorite holiday & kept her tree up all year long decorating it for Mardi Gras, then back to Christmas. She always loved going to the beach and in 2002 decided to move to Biloxi where the beach was her view every day from her apartment window and from her apartment yard got to see the parades, fireworks, & “cruisin’ along the coast” events. There she enjoyed going to the casinos, the buffets, bus outings, playing bingo, eating fried oysters, gumbo, and boudin when it was brought to her from Louisiana.
She really loved living in Mississippi! Lorenza was a sweet and caring person, always so generous and giving and we all loved her very much. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her including her dear apartment friends from Biloxi and Ocean Springs.
Her love and affection for us will be cherished and remembered forever.
