Goldie A. Lorenzen Sunrise: September 11,1912 Sunset: August 11, 2017 Goldie was born in Chicago and lived in Lockport since 1936. Survived by her devoted and doting daughter, Lorelei.

Goldie infused her inner strength into all with whom she came in contact. She will be forever known for her positive life outlook. Mama decorated our lives with her spirituality, love, compassion, thoughtfulness, and genuine interest in each of us. Immense appreciation to her very special friends who continued to keep in touch. In lieu of remembrances, please give a hug to your special someone and say a prayer. Goldie's final happy hour was privately held.

I just saw and read this Obituary.
I knew Goldie thru her son, Herby. She was a kind person and always good to me when I came over to her house.
Herby and I were partners for awhile in a shop called Pandora Box in Lockport. He was a good friend of mine.
I had the privilege to go to Herby's funeral and back to his parent's home.
I also had the privilege to know Herby's fiance Lorie.
I LOVED ALL THREE OF THEM!!

I was very sad to hear of Goldie's passing. She was an amazing, compassionate and a very special lady. As my family was "church family" and friends to you, Lorelei, and to Goldie, she will forever be in our hearts. Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers.

Lorelei I'm sorry for your loss, I used to cut your parents lawn in the 70s while I was in high school, and any other odd jobs they wanted done. They treated me very well and your father was always teaching me something as I was working there. They will always be remembered.

Dear Lorelie,
My deepest sympathy on the passing away of your Mama, Goldie. She was an Inspiration to everyone. You, as her daughter, have been SO DEVOTED to her all these years. and especially these past few years when she wasn't well. You were always The Apple Of Her Eye!
May God Bless You, her Spirit will live on through you Lorelie.
Love and Blessings,
Judy Martis

Wonderful memories came flooding back to us when we saw the obituary for Goldie this morning.
Every time she entered our business it was like a breath of fresh air and always included some warm embraces and lots of laughs.
We so enjoyed her visits. The world has lost an amazing woman. Prayers for her family! Tony and Susan Papesh (Tony's Greenhouses).

Goldie was a lovely lady. I met her while playing on the "Swingers" golf league. I think of the fond memories while golfing and will remember her always. God Bless You Goldie. Deepest sympathy to her family.
