Claudine Nina Jorgensen "Lorrie"

Lorrie, 76, of Marysville, WA, passed away early on the morning of Sunday, September 5, 2010 at home with her husband, Steven, by her side holding her hand.
Born March 29, 1934, she is survived by her "Sweetheart" husband, Steven, happily married over 41 years; daughter, Stephanie (William); Stacie Lee, Scott and Skylar; mother-in-law, whom she lovingly thought of as her own mother, Grace; and in loving memory of her father-in-law, George.
Lorrie is survived by son, Douglas; Sidney; daughter, Voilet Fegan, Gabriel and Jacqlyn.
She is survived by son, Victor, Angela and Kathleen; son, Larry (Donna); daughter, Lauralei (Jerry); Michael, Dusty, Samuel and Veronica; daughter, Juanita (Dave); Stevie, David, Elizabeth and Sarah.
She was preceded in death by a son, Ernest; and is survived by Tina, Lil' Ernie, Lil' Juanita, Brian and many great-grandchildren.
Lorrie had much love to give even if she didn't know you, she would make friends with you. She loved playing her guitar on the back porch, having a drink or two (she could make a great screwdriver!), writing poems and short stories, drawing pictures and crewel embroidery just to name a few. Lorrie will also be fondly remembered for her many collections; stamps, key chains, buttons, driftwood, pipes, Mickey Mouse, knives/swords and buying many unusual things at garage sales! Lorrie also loved fried chicken, she was definitely "one-of-a-kind!"
Lorrie's lifetime dream was to have her body donated to University of WA. She was accepted and her dream was fulfilled! Her wishes were not to have a funeral or memorial.
On behalf of Lorrie and family, we extend a heartfelt thanks to our Hospice Nurse, Suzanne, and Caregiver, Jill, for all of their support during a most difficult time in her life.
As Lorrie would say, "Vaya Con Dios!!"
