Your laugh filled a room like fresh air, with a smile as bright as the sun! Your heart was broke and hurt when Johnny left us now you will no longer be broken. Watch over Alexis, send lots of signs.

November 12, 2020 at 1:48 pmI was Shocked at the news when I heard the passing of Lorrie Stanton!
I knew her when she first hired with MDOC until my retirement January 2014.
What I remember most about her was her bright smile and laughter that was her since I knew her.
She was reliable, tougher than some of the guys when called to battle, she was a true solider and supporter.
As her supervisor I could always depend on her when called upon, she required little to no supervision.
She maintained a “we can” optimistic attitude.
Overall she was a kind spirited person, cultivating a positive working rapport with all who she worked with.
She will be remembered by all who crossed paths may God be with the Family during these tough times and beyond and comfort them in their grief, I pray God be your strength and give you peace as you go through your lost of a love one but Heaven’s gain.
My Heartfelt Condolences to the Family!!!!

November 12, 2020 at 2:05 pmI worked with Lorrie that last few years of her career at WHV. She was full of life and always had a story to tell. Lorrie’s laughter was contagious and couldn’t wait to travel the States after her retirement.
So very sorry for your loss,
Mary
