It is with sad and heavy hearts to inform you of the passing of our beloved mother Martha Lorenzen of Camrose, Alberta, formerly from Yellowknife, NT, on September 8 at the age of 92.

Martha married the love of her life and soulmate Dave Lorenzen and spent 63 loving years together. Martha and Dave loved their garden and spent countless hours canning and reaping the benefits of their hard work. Mom’s no frills cooking and baking skills was something the extended family were eager to enjoy from cabbage rolls to fried caribou and bannock.

Martha is survived by her three children, Carol, Caron, and Dave (Steve); her four grandchildren, Dayna, Daneen, Dustin, and Casey; her great-grandchildren, Delanie, Daelin, Emma, David, Danielle, and Darah; and her great-great-granddaughter, Haileigh. She was predeceased by her husband, Dave, and her infant son Frank and grandson, John David Koyczan. 

Her legacy of love of family, down home culinary skills, and nurturing spirit will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
