Lorene Kohut

While I never met Lorene, I have enjoyed a print of "Misty Woodland" hanging in my office for the better part of 5 decades. Having grown up in lower Delaware, it reminded me of my walks in the woods near our home in Rehoboth Beach. I wish I could have met her and chatted about this painting but my appreciation of her art lives on in her memory.

My younger sister and I both remember Lorene (addressed by us as Mrs. Kohut) as we lived in Okinawa for three years in the late fifties. Our dad was in the Air Force and stationed in Okinawa. We became friends of the Kohut family and remember admiring Lorene's beautiful paintings of the ocean, waves and sky. Since we were surrounded by oceans, she had the ideal backdrop for her wonderful artwork. Deborah and Bridget Friends

Ms. Lorene was so wonderful and I would stop by her shop and stay for hours when I drove from Houston to Austin. She taught me so much about mineralogy and she brought so much light to my family and I when we came in. She's sorely missed.

A wonderful woman she will be missed

Lorene was a very dear friend, and a reluctant mentor of mine. I will forever cherish our long conversations. Our collection of crystals built over the years will be a forever reminder of such a grand, kind and wise women!

I have so many beautiful memories of Lorene over all these years. It was always such a pleasure to go see her, visit and shop. I loved our conversations.

After the 2011 Wildfire, Lorene gave me a beautiful amethyst wedge as a housewarming gift for the apartment I ended up in. Since then, I built my crystal collection back up a bit.

Nothing can replce the joy Lorene brought to this world. She will live on in my heart forever.

Love and Blessings,

Our condolences to Lorene's family and friends. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
We loved her and were very blessed to have a friend like her. We will always remember her kindness, generosity , passion for art, crystals and minerals, love for pets, plants and enthusiasm for life. She was our dear friend and we are very saddened by her passing. For us, Lorene will live on in our hearts, memories and in the spark of energy from every crystal and mineral in our collection...

I met Lorene only once or twice but my husband became good friends with her when he was driving back and forth regularly from Austin to Port Arthur to care for family from 1997 to 2002.Visiting Lorene always lifted his spirits and he came home with LOTS of treasure over the years. Grace, love and peace be to all.
