Lorna Jorgens

Lorna Kay (Strom) Jorgens, 55, of Euclid, MN, died late Saturday evening, March 28, 2015, at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks with her husband, Jeff, and family at her side. Lorna was born at Crookston on November 29, 1959, the daughter of Wallace and Audrey (Pederson) Strom. She attended Crookston public schools and graduated from Central High School in 1978. Lorna then enrolled in Art School at Thief River Falls, MN. She later met and married Arlin Volker in the fall of 1981. A son, Seth, was born to their union in 1982. Lorna was employed by RiverView Hospital in Crookston for twenty-three years, and cared for each and every patient as if they were her own family. In 1999 she moved to a farm near Euclid, MN, where she had her beloved animals, and it became her "hobby farm." On July 1, 2005 she was united in marriage to Jeffrey Jorgens and they continued to make their home on the farm to the present time. Lorna was one of a kind. Anyone who met her would never forget her, and she had a way of making everyone feel special. She loved animals, second-hand stores, antiques, entertaining, cooking, and reading cookbooks. Lorna also liked visiting with people, whether in person or on the telephone. She loved her family dearly, but her three grandchildren, especially, had her heart. Lorna will be very sadly missed by all who were part of her life. She is survived by her beloved husband, Jeff, of Euclid, MN; her son and daughter-in-law, Seth and Amanda Volker of Crookston; her three precious grandchildren: Wyatt, Elsie, and Audrie Volker; two nieces, Stephanie Strom of Commerce City, CO and Alanna Strom of Crookston; a nephew, Kell Strom of Kelso, WA; and other extended family. Lorna was preceded in death by her parents, Wallace and Audrey; three brothers: Allen, Daniel, and Ronald Strom; her sister, Linda Yanish; and two nephews, Christopher and Nevin Strom. May God bless Lorna's memory.
