In her active life she was the loving companion and wife of Phil for more than 59 years. She served as his office manager during their fifty years of solo chiropractic practice. She contributed her time and talent to organizations serving not only as a member but as president of each of the following: Utah State Chapter of PEO, Provo PEO Chapter Z, American Chiropractic Auxiliary, Utah Chiropractic Auxiliary, Provo Chapter of Executive Women, Fortnighters, and Provo Service League. When Lorena completed her presidency of the ACA Auxiliary she accepted the chairmanship of the ACA‘s Exhibit Committee which she held for seven years travelling 5 or 6 times each year to other national associations and manning the Exhibit booth that dispensed information about chiropractic colleges and chiropractic health service.
On the home front, Lorena raised two daughters, Mim and Laura, and also help raised grandson, Phillip. She was active in the PTA, was home room mother for both girls, and was Brownie Scout leader for several years. She headed up the annual Girl Scout Cookie program in the Provo area several times and served for several years on the Diaconate Board of the Provo Community Church.
In October of 2007, Phil and Lorena moved to Santa Rosa, California to be close to daughter Laura and family. The family would like to thank the Staff at Villa Capri at Varenna and the Memorial Hospice of Santa Rosa for the kind care and comfort they rendered her during the final weeks.
