Ellen Lorenz

Ellen Louise Lorenz, 74, of Dallas, GA peacefully passed away on Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at WellStar Paulding Hospital. Her loving family surrounded her by her bedside. Born on September 16, 1946, to Margaret (Pegg) and Dale Rowe in Ravenna, OH, Ellen was the oldest of 10 brothers and sisters growing up in Lakewood, OH. She attended St Clements and graduated from Lakewood High School where she studied Art and Debate. In college, Ellen found a passion for Accounting (and spreadsheets). Ellen earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the prestigious Culverhouse School of Accountancy in the College of Commerce & Business Administration at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL. Her talents in accounting and taxes severed her well for a successful career spanning 35 years. Ellen married American/Canadian Inventor Achim Lorenz and had three (3) daughters. She is survived by Sheila Lorenz Morse (Dana Merriman), Audrey Lorenz (Brian Emery), and Lisa Sinon (Chris) and her four (4) grandchildren – Madeleine Gedgoudas and Mackenzie, Ethan, and Justin Sinon which she adored. Also, she lives on through her (7) seven brothers and sisters. An avid reader, Ellen read everything she could get her hands on especially, Stephen King novels and political autobiographies. She loved to travel, taking long car trips and traveling to different states and national parks with family and friends. Proud University of Alabama alum, you could find Ellen cheering on her Crimson Tide in the stands at any game she could attend. A private memorial service will be held in Lakewood, OH, for immediate family. In place of flowers, the family asks to donate in Ellen’s name to The National Parks Foundation at www.nationalparks.org, The American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org or, a charity of your choice.
