She enjoyed listening to country music, playing cards especially 500 and also enjoyed board games. She liked scratch tickets and an occasional trip to the casino and enjoyed playing computer games with her friend, Travis from Texas. Lorie was a loving wife who took pride in learning to cook and help her husband, Jerry.

She is survived by her husband Jerry Christensen of Nora Springs, Iowa, two sisters, Linda (Richard) Ott of Nora Springs and Ann (Dean) Ott of Marble Rock, Iowa; nieces and nephews: Richard (Julie) Ott Jr., Sheila Ott, Keith (Jennifer) Ott, Melissa (Trent) Maurer, John (Amy Weber) Ott, nine great-nieces and nephews; four great-great-nieces & nephews; and many nieces and nephews on the Christensen side.
