Colleen Lorenz

Colleen Hazel Lorenz was born January 9, 1970 to Arthur and Diane (Haskins) Jackman in California. She grew up there and graduated from Bell Gardens High School. She lived in various parts of southern California and met Don Lorenz in Paso Robles. The couple later married in Marshall, Minnesota. The family moved to Minnesota in 1995, living in the southwest Minnesota communities of Russell, Balaton, and Tyler. Colleen was a Certified Nursing Assistant and worked at nursing homes where she enjoyed caring for Alzheimers patients. In addition, she served as a TMA in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. On Sunday, October 2, 2016 Colleen died unexpectedly at her home in Tyler at the age of 46.

Colleen found her joy in work, and in caring for her family and grandchildren. She loved the outdoors—camping, BBQs, the lake, and playing games. She was very inclusive of everybody.

Colleen is lovingly remembered by her husband, Donald; her children, Frank (Molly) Jackman and their daughter Ella of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Priscilla Lorenz and her children Aiden and Sophie of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Donald Lorenz Jr. and his son Easton of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Haley Lorenz of Tyler, Minnesota; brothers, John (Sandy) Jackman of Palm Springs, California, William (and Mary) Jackman of Tyler, Minnesota, Carl Jackman of Preston, Idaho, Mike Jackman of Preston, Idaho, and Kerri Jackman of Preston, Idaho; and many other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Blessed be her memory.
