She adored her 12 grandchildren: Nick, Noah, Joey, Nathan, Christopher John (deceased), Abby, Julia, Laura, John, Todd, Katie, and Annie.  Lorrie was a positive spirit who enjoyed her family, gathering with friends, and all holidays, especially Christmas.  

Lorrie retired from Franklin Township Schools in 2009. She had also worked for Perry Township, Greenwood School Corporation, and Johnson County Special Services.  She was a career educator that absolutely loved teaching children and helped them to achieve to their highest abilities.

I will always treasure our time together at FTMS-West. Lorrie was not only my boss, but she was a friend. She was a very loving, compassionate person that would do anything to help her students. I will never forget our little chats about faith and family. She taught me so much!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time!
