She found solace and strength in her deep faith, having been a devoted member of Victory Park Church since 1953. It was here where she served others selflessly, extending her care beyond her family to those in need through the church's soup kitchen. Lorena's daily life was enriched by friendships and care, especially with her aide Jennifer Heathcock, whose companionship she treasured deeply. She warmly embraced her time spent in the company of others, and her legacy of kindness will endure through all those she touched.

Those who knew her will remember her for her steadfast presence in their lives, her tireless commitment to her church, and the warmth and wisdom she shared so generously.
