Lorentzen, Anne M.

Saginaw, Michigan

Our loving sister, aunt, and friend passed away on Sunday, January 26, 2025 at Covenant Healthcare in Saginaw. She was 88 years old. Anne Marie Lorentzen was born on June 9, 1936 in Cass City, Michigan to Donald and Helen (Steinmann) Lorentzen. She served her country in the United States Air Force as a registered nurse from 1960 until 1962. Anne worked as a Frontier nurse in the mountains of Kentucky and as a visiting nurse before co-founding Woida Lorentzen Case Management, retiring after several years of dedicated service.

Anne loved traveling and going on river cruises. In her travels she visited over a hundred countries. She was crafty and enjoyed making greeting cards for others. Anne will be remembered for her kindness and compassion toward others while volunteering for Covenant Healthcare. She had volunteered over 19,500 hours at Covenant, holding 4^th place for most volunteer hours. Anne was a lover of animals and spoiled her three cats, Buffy, Lexie, and Jessie. But above all, she really loved spending time with her friends and family.
