Lorrie Ann Nolan passed away peacefully at approximately 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 21, after a courageous battle with cancer.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved by her daughters, Melissa Grover and Erica Lax; her father, Harry Nolan; her sisters, Brenda Beattie and Teresa Nolan; her uncle, Thomas Abrams; her beautiful granddaughters, Isabella Thorne and Tosca Mullen; her loving best friend, Cher; Amber, whom she loved as a granddaughter; and her “bear cubs,” Colleen, Ashlynn, and Taylor.

Lorrie was a kind and compassionate woman who would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need. She had a warm personality, could strike up a conversation with anyone, and brought laughter and joy to so many people. Despite facing difficult times throughout her life, she remained incredibly strong and resilient.

Especially during the past year, Lorrie embraced life fully—making new friends, creating meaningful memories, and enjoying the things that brought her happiness.

She is now reunited in peace with her mother, Donna Nolan, as well as her aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Her beloved Shih Tzu, Bentley, was also diagnosed with cancer. We take comfort in imagining him by her side once again, giving her all the love she deserves in heaven.

Thank you to everyone who loved Lorrie and shared in her life. Her spirit will live on within all of us. Always remember her when you see a cow print.
