Loreene was a longtime resident of Baytown, Texas and a member of West Baker Baptist Church in Baytown, Texas. She was an avid viewer and fan of the Houston Texans, Astros and Rockets. She also had a passion for furniture: everything from design to marketing and sales. She spent nearly four decades dedicating herself to exceeding to the highest standards through honesty and hard work. This resulted in Loreene being recognized with several honors in this industry. Above all, she cherished all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and wanted the best for their lives. They were her heartbeat. This includes all the children she helped raise who considered her a mother or grandmother.
