Lornell and Henry were married on November 14, 1964 at St. Rose de Lima Catholic
Church in New Orleans. They made Terrytown their home for 35 years, moving to

Catholic faith and radiated love and grace to all those she encountered. Lornell was a
loving wife and mother and special to so many people. She had many childhood friends

no words to describe how much she was loved and how greatly she will be missed. May
her soul rest in peace.
