Obituary of Lori Orrben

Lorraine (Lori) M. Orrben (68) died 7/14/2024 after a prolonged illness. Growing up in North Minneapolis, Lori attended Ascension School for grade school, and De La Salle for high school. She worked at Wells Fargo Bank for 42 years before retiring. She enjoyed doing crafts and going to craft classes with Bunny and her friends. She grew magnificent gardens and enjoyed sitting in her back yard relishing her hard work. Lori was a second mother to our niece Emily whom she loved beyond words. She adored mothering her precious dogs Humphrey, Arnie, Luther, Bart, Iggy, Pax, and Emmet. She enjoyed spending time with her entire family whenever she could. She lived her life being a role model for all doing things for anyone who needed anything. Lori will forever be loved and missed by all who knew her. She is survived by Bernadine (Bunny), Mary Lou (Jack), Thomas (Terese), Jeanne, and Judy (Tony), nieces - Emily, Natalie, Monica, and Erica, nephews George and David,  great nieces Alyssa, Melanie, Casey, Katelynne, and Lillian, and great nephews Nathan, Carter, and Blake, and great great nieces Zoi and Stella. The mass will be held at the Basilica of St. Mary in downtown Minneapolis on Tuesday July 23rd with visiting at 12:00 noon followed by the memorial mass at 1:00 PM. We would like a garden of color to celebrate Lori, so if you could wear flowered clothing it would be appreciated. Contributions can be made to a charity of your choice or a dog rescue group.
