She was employed at General Electric for a number of years before starting her career with Nestles in Fulton where she worked in many positions prior to retirement.

Lorelei enjoyed spending time with her family more than anything else and would always look forward to any time she could get with family. She was a compassionate woman who always made friends and family feel loved. She loved sitting on her porch, watching the hummingbirds at the feeders and the beautiful hanging flowers, which she loved to care for. She enjoyed going to garage sales as well as having them, always looking forward to seeing familiar faces as well as new ones looking at the many treasures she had available.

A special thanks to all the home aids that spent countless hours caring for and providing companionship over the past few years. Your help and compassion were a big part of each recovery she made over the past few years.
