Please accept our sympathies for your loss. Lorna will always be remembered by us as the lady with the stuffed animals. My grandchildren always looked forward to her little “gifts” to them.
She was a great little lady for the short time that I knew her.

My grandma Marberg will be missed by many people. She was a very special lady. My fondest memories of her are from my visits to her farm in Issaquah when I was a little girl, and watching her milk cows and goats in her 80’s. She will always be remembered for her strength, her love of animals, children and life. My only wish was that I could have spent more time with her and my children could have had a chance to know her, but living in GA made it hard. She will be in my heart always. Gerry Criss
I haven’t seen Grandma for quite some time, but I thought about her often. She was a strong, wonderful woman who touched all she came in contact with. I have wonderful memories of staying with her at the farm. I will miss her.

We treasure the closeness of our families. Lorna was amazing – a person to admire, an inspiration of perseverence for us all. Bless her and Bless you all.
Lorna was my Mother, I am truly thankful to have had her to teach me and help me when it was necessary. Her advice was perfect, can’t say that I always followed it, but I tried. I am also very thankful for my entire family. Leila
